Es handelt sich um ein historisches Röhrenradio der deutschen Traditionsmarke Telefunken aus den späten 1950er Jahren.
Das genaue Modell heißt Telefunken Opus 8 Hi-Fi und kam ca. 1957/1958 auf den Markt. Es war damals das absolute Spitzenmodell des Herstellers und für seine herausragende Klangqualität bekannt.
Excellent condition makes €150 a little above the €119 median, but still comfortably within the normal range for this model and not enough to call it expensive; it sits between the €75 lower quartile and €202 upper quartile, so this reads as a fair, buyable ask rather than a bargain-bin score. For a clean example, that’s sensible money.
The appeal here is the classic Telefunken tube-radio charm: strong AM/FM-era build quality, warm presentation, and the kind of room-filling sound that makes these sets worth restoring and living with. In excellent shape, the upside is mainly cosmetic and operational confidence, but buyers should still confirm the usual basics on a vintage Röhrenradio—power-up behavior, dial lamps, speaker health, and whether any servicing has already been done.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Telefunken stands as one of Europe's most storied audio brands, founded on May 27, 1903, as a joint venture between German industrial giants Siemens and AEG. Created at Kaiser Wilhelm II's direction to consolidate wireless telegraphy expertise, the company quickly became the continent's dominant force in radio and electronic communications. The Telefunken name itself derives from "tele" (telegraphy) and "funken" (sparks), reflected in the brand's iconic lightning-bolt logo. By the mid-twentieth century, Telefunken had established itself across multiple continents, with its radio equipment and vacuum-tube receivers earning widespread recognition for quality throughout non-communist Europe.
The brand's product heritage centers on vacuum-tube microphones and audio components, particularly its legendary studio recording equipment developed during the golden age of analog recording. Telefunken became synonymous with premium vacuum-tube technology, and its vintage microphones—especially the ELA M 251—remain highly sought after by professional recording engineers and collectors. The company also manufactured semiconductors, computers, and consumer electronics through the mid-twentieth century, though these divisions eventually declined as Japanese competition intensified during the 1960s and 1970s.
Today's Telefunken operates as a niche boutique brand focused on preserving and recreating its analog legacy. Telefunken Elektroakustik, established in 2001 in Connecticut, specializes in historically accurate reproductions of vintage vacuum-tube microphones and has expanded into modern designs that blend classic sonic characteristics with contemporary manufacturing. The brand occupies the high-end professional and audiophile segment, commanding premium prices justified by meticulous craftsmanship and deep historical authenticity. For discerning listeners and recording professionals, Telefunken represents both tangible connection to audio's golden era and continued commitment to analog excellence.
