Seller's Description

Braun P50 Piccolo, Radio ohne Funktionstest.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a strong deal. At €50, it sits well below the €119 25th percentile and far under the €391 median for recent comparable EUR listings, so the asking price leaves plenty of room for collector appeal or a bit of restoration without overpaying.

That makes it attractive if the cabinet is intact and the set is complete, since these Braun pieces are valued for their clean Bauhaus styling and compact presence as much as for sound. The main buyer focus should be condition: bakelite can crack, knobs and trim are easy to lose, and old radios often need electrical service before regular use. Even so, at this price it’s a very buyable piece for someone who appreciates design and vintage charm.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Braun Audio

Braun Audio traces its origins to 1921, when German engineer Max Braun founded the company in Frankfurt as a modest workshop producing radio components. By 1929, it had launched its own receivers, earning international acclaim at the 1937 Paris World Fair for sound engineering innovations. Post-World War II, Braun rebuilt with a sharp focus on high-fidelity reproduction, pioneering advancements under designer Dieter Rams from 1956 onward, including the first all-wave receiver, mobile music player (TP1 in 1959), stackable Hi-Fi systems, and wall-mounted integrated setups—many now museum pieces like those at MoMA.

The brand excelled in compact, modular stereo systems during the 1960s and 1970s, with iconic models like Audio 1, Audio 2, Audio 250, and Audio 300 featuring solid metal casings and uncompromised sound quality. Braun emphasized innovative portables, record players with plexiglass covers, and educational brochures on optimal listening setups, blending functionality with Rams' minimalist aesthetic across radios, phonographs, amplifiers, and early headphones.

Renowned among vintage collectors and design aficionados for its ahead-of-its-time hi-fi heritage, Braun Audio holds a niche position as a mid-tier icon of German engineering precision. After a 28-year hiatus, it relaunched in the 2010s under license, targeting enthusiasts who value timeless quality over cutting-edge exotica, with a current emphasis on preserving its storytelling legacy through curated webshops and reissues.
