Quote:It says Stereo in big letters, but the only stereo in it is a second amplifier (with less power and a smaller transformer than the main amp) an ECC83 as a stereo preamp for phono and jacks for an external speaker for the 2nd amp. one metric equivalent of a 6X9 speaker, 2 midrange / tweeters. Not evenly placed. FM is mono, no multiplex, no FM A AM B, but I don't know if that was in any German radio.
MrFixr55. This configuration was widespread in Europe in the early 60s. Stereo decoders were installed in service centers for a fee if there was stereo broadcasts on local stations. I have never seen such a tube decoder even in fully stereo German tube radios of the late 60s.
This stereo NORDmende already has completely identical stereo channels and acoustics and uses a stereo cartridge stylus, but ... there is no stereo decoder either ...
