Ebay always has late 50s and 60s German radios with ridiculous prices, if you really want one try something local like craigslist or even garage sales. The part that makes them sound good is the speakers, in spite of the cult believing that all things German are wonderbar most of the time the radio chassis itself isn't anything special in these things. I can still remember when people were trying to dump German set on me when I posted ads looking for old radios, eventually I had to specify "No German radios please". I hated working on them and they never really interested me that much, crappy wiring, underated components, and flimsy mechanical parts, not to mention that idiotic design they all had where they use the bandswitch to turn the power on an off.
