Verkaufe einen Sanyo M4500KE Stereo Radio-/Kassettenrecorder, Made in Japan, aus dem Nachlass meines Vaters.
Das Gerät wurde seinerzeit auch offiziell in die DDR importiert und gehörte damals zu den hochwertigen und ausgesprochen teuren Radiorecordern.
Das Exemplar befindet sich in einem außergewöhnlich schönen, fast neuwertig wirkenden Zustand und ist voll funktionsfähig, einschließlich Radio und Kassettenteil. Sehr schöner, kräftiger Stereoklang.
Ausstattung u. a. mit 4 Wellenbereichen, 4 Lautsprechern, zwei VU-Metern, eingebauten Mikrofonen, Phono-Anschluss und Teleskopantenne.
Ein sehr schönes und heute selten gewordenes Stück japanischer Audiotechnik und DDR-Importgeschichte.
€120 is a bit ambitious versus the recent used market here: it sits above the €104 75th percentile and well over the €88 median, so this is not a bargain-priced tuner. If the seller can justify it with exceptional cosmetics, full testing, or original packaging, the ask is still within the realm of reasonable for an enthusiast-grade piece, but it’s priced on the strong side.
What makes it interesting is the combination of clean condition and the fact that solid vintage tuners can be very satisfying daily-use pieces when they’ve been cared for. The upside here is mainly in finding a tidy, ready-to-run example; at this price, though, I’d want confidence in reception performance, all controls working quietly, and no signs of drift or weak output before moving fast.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. traces its origins to 1947 in Osaka, Japan, when Toshio Iue, brother-in-law of Panasonic founder Kōnosuke Matsushita, launched the company using a disused Matsushita factory to produce bicycle generator lamps. Formally incorporated in 1950, the name "Sanyo"—meaning "three oceans"—reflected Iue's vision of global reach across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. From these humble beginnings, Sanyo rapidly expanded into consumer electronics, pioneering Japan's first plastic radio in 1952 and pulsator washing machine in 1954.
In audio and hi-fi, Sanyo earned recognition for mass-market components like stereo systems, introduced in 1958, and the groundbreaking all-transistor DC-600 system in 1963. The brand produced reliable radios, tape recorders, cassette decks—often rebadged for other labels—and hi-fi systems, alongside televisions and amplifiers. Later ventures included acquiring the U.S. Fisher brand in 1975, elevating its profile in receivers and speakers aimed at everyday enthusiasts.
Today, Sanyo holds vintage-collector status rather than an active hi-fi contender, its reputation rooted in affordable, innovative Japanese engineering from the 1960s-1980s golden era. Once a "3S" giant alongside Sony and Sharp, it catered to mid-tier buyers seeking solid performance without audiophile premiums, though its absorption into Panasonic in 2009 shifted focus away from dedicated audio gear. Collectors prize well-preserved Sanyo pieces for their durability and nostalgic appeal in retro setups.
