Hello and welcome.

This is a large valve radio from, I would guess, the late 1950s or early 1960s, with rather plain styling and only AM wavebands (i.e. without FM). I suspect it was made in the former East Germany.

In this country, I would say it would be worth £25 or so at most, but I'm not sure what the market is like in Greece.

Nick.

P.S. I've never heard of the Wartburg brand with regard to radios, though my neighbours had a Wartburg car in the 1970s which looked much older than it actually was.
