SABA DONAU P radio. Antenna for FM and AM required. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi, I've just acquired a SABA DONAU radio which appears to be German and from the 70s.

Unfortunately it didn't come with an antenna for either FM or AM. I wanted to check the connectors, anyone know what they are called and where I can buy a reasonably priced antenna from. Cheers

Do these look like the connectors?

As I understand it Donau is the German name for the Danube. So German origin makes sense.

SABA were a German manufacturer, there is no doubt.

Hi Frank, yes that's exactly the type of connectors!

Cheers for help so far!

They are for sale on eBay, only place I could find, there are probably other suppliers though.

I thought it was a DIN standard connector but it is advertised as an IEC type. With some searching you should find something suitable.
