At £235, this is a fair-to-strong asking price rather than a bargain: it sits well above the £118 median for 28 comparable listings, but below the £266 75th percentile. For a scarce 1970s Siemens receiver in an attractive white case, that places it in the reasonable upper-middle of the used market, assuming it is complete and working.
The RS 202 is appealing as a compact vintage receiver with distinctive Siemens styling, an integrated tuner and amplifier, and the kind of warm, characterful presentation that suits period speakers and a retro system. Its rarity and unusually good cosmetic condition can justify the premium over ordinary examples. Before buying, confirm that FM tuning, both channels, inputs, controls, lamps and the case are all sound; at £235, a clean, fully tested example would be a worthwhile buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Siemens is a German industrial and technology company founded in Berlin in 1847 by Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske. Its heritage is firmly rooted in electrical engineering, beginning with the pointer telegraph and expanding over more than 175 years into a global electronics and infrastructure giant. While not primarily an audio brand in the consumer hi-fi sense, Siemens has had long-running relevance in communications, broadcast, and professional electronics.
In audio, Siemens is best associated with professional and industrial electronics, communications equipment, and historically with parts and tubes rather than with mainstream hi-fi products. It is not known as a major maker of amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables for the consumer market. Where the name appears in audio circles, it is usually tied to vintage German valves/tubes, broadcast components, or related technical hardware.
As a hi-fi brand, Siemens sits outside the usual high-end or mid-tier consumer landscape. Its reputation is strongest among collectors, engineers, and vintage-audio enthusiasts who value German-built components and historic tube gear. For buyers seeking modern audiophile separates, Siemens is not a primary brand; for those hunting classic European parts and legacy technical quality, it has real cachet.
