Is €65 the sweet spot for this one, or are you paying up? Based on the recent comps, it lands exactly on the median and a touch below the 75th percentile of €71, so this is a fair ask, not a bargain—but also not stretched. It sits comfortably inside the normal used range, which makes it easy to justify if the seller is straightforward and the unit is complete.
That makes it a sensible buy if you want a classic German tuner with the sort of solid, no-nonsense FM performance SABA is known for: good sensitivity, pleasant tuning feel, and enough vintage charm to be worth living with. At this price, the real upside is a clean, working example with no dial-string, lamps, or alignment surprises; if it has been recently serviced or comes with documentation, that would make €65 feel especially well judged.
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.
