Ich verkaufe dieses schöne alte Röhrenradio der Marke SABA, das durch sein klassisches Design besticht. Es ist ein tolles Stück für Liebhaber von Vintage-Elektronik.
- Marke: SABA
- Gehäuse: Holz mit dunkler Lackierung und Zierstreifen
- Front: Helle Stoffbespannung
- Bedienung: Drehknöpfe und Tastenleiste
- Anschluss: Mit Stromkabel und Stecker
Das Radio besitzt ein Gehäuse aus Holz mit einer schönen Maserung und die typische Optik der damaligen Zeit. Es weist altersbedingte Gebrauchsspuren auf, die den nostalgischen Charme unterstreichen. Ich kann zur technischen Funktion keine Aussage treffen, da es sich um ein Sammlerstück handelt.
A new set of similar vintage radios would cost far more, but against recent used EUR comps this €99 asking price sits just above the €85 median and well below the €175 upper quartile, so it reads as fair rather than cheap. It is not a steal at this level, but it is a sensible buy if the cabinet and cosmetics are genuinely presentable.
The appeal here is the classic SABA charm: strong German tube-radio build quality, a handsome wooden case, and the kind of warm, characterful presentation collectors still chase. At a for-parts price, the upside is in restoration potential or parts value, but the buyer should assume recapping, safety work, and likely restoration labor if it is to play properly.
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.
