SABA Breisgau 8 pt. 1. Restoration of this amazing piece of 50's engineering.
SABA tube radios represent, for me, the pinnacle of 50's radio engineering. This brand produced radios with all the 'bells and whistles' , and was, unquestionably, the leading brand of the day. The radios they sold were way advanced in comparison with its competitors, which was also reflected in their price. They were expensive, but certainly delivered in reception quality, audio response, and longevity.
This one is a Breisgau 8 Automatic, and came from a radiogram unit which must have been damaged and disposed of. It comes without speakers, but is otherwise the exact chassis that made up the Meersburg model. This means that it is fitted with automatic tuning, a feature that was undoubtedly revolutionary for the period.
I'm looking forward to doing this restoration as it provides numerous opportunities for learning. It won't be easy, but should definitely be gratifying, and fun.
Hope you enjoy the series.
