Luxury Vintage Radios
Very opulent site here packed with very high quality radios for sale along with many images of each model along with very thorough descriptions of each.
https://luxuryradios.com/en/ Some very in depth restorations are covered here so certainly not cheap! Neil |

My wife's always threatening to burn my collection I'd let her burn that one :thumbsup: Think UK domestic sets not our overseas cousins creations :) Cheers Mike T |
Re: Luxury Vintage Radios
Opulent probably describes the prices quite well.
The demonstration rooms are rather odd. Plain walls, hardwood floors, a veritable hall of mirrors. Open baffle speakers too. Very Bauhaus chic in design, probably as bad a starting point as you can get from the point of view of acoustics. Couldn't you find space for just one post-war receiver, Mike... A Tandberg Huldra for example? But if we all had exactly the same interests, just think of the prices and the queues! Edit: Just seen that pre-war one Nick spotted. Dear heavens that thing is hideous! I offer the use of a big propane torch to get it going! David |

It includes a Huldra 9 (I think its a 9 it's a hybrid) and a B&O Beomaster 900K. Cheers Mike T |

There's lots of twaddle on the site (e.g. that you should never site a stereo receiver between the speakers), but the photos are lovely and it's nice to see somebody making a go of marketing old radios to people with lots of spare cash. Surely this might help increase their desirability and persuade a few people to treasure sets that might be otherwise discarded.
I still remember with horror a holiday to Germany with my parents in the mid 1980s, and coming across the "Sperrmüll" waste collection, where everyone put out their big items for collection by a crusher. There were piles of radios like this, all destroyed in a few minutes. There seems to be less saving/collecting (hoarding?) on the Continent than over here! Pic from a quick Google: |

Blimey, that Multigamma is seriously ugly, I wish I hadn't seen it now, I didn't know it was on there! Sorry everyone, I should have vetted the site first before unleashing it on you lot :o. I'm going to set to work on a DAC90a to recover :D.

Lovely site . |
Re: Luxury Vintage Radios

Re: Luxury Vintage Radios
About the only one of them I would give house-room to is the Braun RCS9 - which at least _looks_ to me like a proper receiver should, with its nice aluminium case.
[Alas according to Radiomuseum - https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/braun_...et_rcs9_2.html - it has the horribly unreliable ELL80 dual-pentodes as its push-pull output-stages] |
Re: Luxury Vintage Radios
I had a Philips radiogram with similar piano keys etc and thought it was quite classy because it had a knob for rotating the ferrite aerial. The set performed well and in fact better than the one that actually springs to mind as "luxury". That was a Murphy A40C that I repaired for a friend of my father. Double conversion on SW and push-pull output driving a huge energised 12" speaker.
