I always wanted one of those just so I could tell people that I had it.

Here's my Hornyphon before I restored it. This one is the W455X "Potentat".

I bite my tongue......their naming system was clearly devised by someone who read too much of the Playboy.

Maybe these radios are like the band Toto. You chuckle at the name, then they blow you away with their performance!

German / European radios are very good, but american are still better on average, though some European ones are really stylish.

It isn't usually a problem to power a 50 cycle device on 60 cycle, unless it has an AC motor in it in which case the motor may spin faster. Transformers usually don't care if they are operated at a higher line frequency, within reason of course, but they don't like the opposite. Most European radios have taps on the transformer primary that allow operation on several different line voltages, sometimes it's a plug on the transformer, other times there is a wire that you have to undo from a screw terminal and move to another terminal. You may have to remove the back to get at it if it has a voltage selector, if not come back to us for a plan "B". This Hornyphon looks like a later model from the 1960s if the eye tube is any indication, it looks like an EM84.

Thanks, there isn't a visible panel of plugs like some models so I'll get in there and take a closer look at the transformer.
