Zu verkaufen für 120€ an Selbstabholer.
Funktioniert einwandfrei,sehr schönen Klang!!!
This looks like a fair ask rather than a bargain: at €120, it sits below the €133 median and comfortably inside the middle of the market, though not low enough to qualify as a clear steal against the €82 / €199 spread. For a working example of a vintage SABA tube radio, that’s a sensible number if it is genuinely fully operational and cosmetically decent.
What makes it appealing is the combination of classic SABA build quality and the fact that it is advertised as fully functional; that usually means better odds of an enjoyable, ready-to-listen set without immediate repair costs. If the cabinet is clean, the controls are quiet, and the seller can show it receiving stations properly, it’s a solid buy at this price; I’d only push for a closer look at switch noise, dial lamps, and any crackle in the volume path, since those are the usual age-related weak points.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# SABA
SABA stands as a landmark in German consumer electronics history, with roots tracing back to 1835 when Joseph Benedikt Schwer founded a clock manufactory in Triberg, Black Forest. The company formally entered radio production in 1923 under the name Schwarzwälder Apparate-Bau-Anstalt (SABA), quickly establishing itself as a major force in German broadcasting and recording technology. By the late 1920s, SABA had become the nation's second-largest radio manufacturer after Telefunken, renowned for precision engineering and motorized tuning mechanisms. The company survived World War II's devastation and expanded into television and hi-fi equipment during the postwar boom.
SABA's product portfolio encompassed radios, televisions, turntables, amplifiers, and speakers, with particular strength in integrated hi-fi systems and consumer audio components. The brand became synonymous with quality German engineering and meticulous attention to detail. Notable products included the iconic S35 radio and early PAL color television sets. During the 1960s and 1970s, SABA produced respected hi-fi equipment, though the company did not focus exclusively on the high-end audiophile segment.
Today, SABA occupies a significant place in vintage audio collecting circles. The brand ceased independent operations in 2007 following insolvency and a failed joint venture with Thomson and TLC. Collectors and enthusiasts value SABA's mid-century and 1970s equipment for build quality and sonic character, positioning the brand firmly in the vintage and retro hi-fi market rather than contemporary production.
