This is a solid mid‑range price for a SABA Wildbad 7 tuner, assuming it works and is complete; in the used SABA market, similar vintage tuners usually trade somewhere in the mid‑hundreds of EUR when fully functional and cosmetically decent, so EUR 150 is not a bargain but far from ambitious if the unit is actually in good condition. You’re paying for a known‑quality German tuner from the Wildbad line rather than for a bargain, so treat it as a fair, enthusiast‑level asking price that makes sense if the internals are healthy and the cosmetics are presentable.
Before buying, insist on confirmation that the tuner powers up cleanly, doesn’t hum excessively, and tracks stations across the band with stable tuning; weak valves, noisy band‑switch contacts, and failing capacitors are common in radios of this age. Check also that the original knobs and any supplied leads are present, and ask whether the seller has recapped or serviced the set, because a chassis‑full of aged electrolytics can turn a EUR 150 purchase into a much pricier project if you aren’t prepared to do the work yourself.
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.
