Against recent EUR comparables, €100 sits a touch above the €82 median but still inside the normal spread between €66 and €100, so this reads as a fair ask rather than a bargain or an overreach. For a working piece, that’s sensible market pricing; if it’s clean and complete, there’s no reason to knock it hard on value.
The appeal here is the classic SABA tube-radio experience: warm, generous sound, strong vintage presence, and a design that still has real shelf appeal. These sets are worth buying when they’re intact, because proper examples can be rewarding daily listeners and conversation pieces alike. At this price, the main thing to confirm is that the set is truly functional and not hiding avoidable restoration work; if it’s been serviced or is very original and tidy, it’s a solid buy.
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.
