Thing of beauty.

Nice bit of audio treasure you have there Chris. You know I have to ask, valve or transistor?

Reminds me of the Telefunken tube radio I had: one with a gorgeous
full body sound.

Here you see a 1960 SABA "Freudenstadt 125" which is related in styling to my SABA 1960 "Freudenstadt 125" receiver prototype, you see how closely they are in their layout, the only significant difference are the speakers.

This picture is not mine. I have the 1962 successor which is slightliy different in styling. Fantastic sound as well Dondillon!

By the way - Freudenstadt is a little town in the Black Forest, I was born in that town.

So the Black Forest produced stereos in addition to cherry cake and ham

...and beautiful farmhouses.

Look at my avatar - this farmhouse was built in 1570.



A lot of precision engeneering came from the Black Forest. SABA, Dual, PE, Thorens, this is finest Hifi gear. And do not forget the cuckoo clocks...

"Becker" (Pforzheim) - finest car stereo.

Picture shows 1977 Becker car stereo in a Mercedes-Benz

The name changed into "Harman Becker Automotive Systems".

Bob it is new to me that Bier is part of the precision engeneering industry. But the Schwarzwälder Bier is actually GREAT!
