With grey
lacquered
Bakelite cabinet,
white front and station scale and white knobs.
A small but very complete receiver with five
tubes. The simple and sleek design of the radio
is derived from that of the Braun SK1, designed
by Artur Braun and Fritz Eichler in 1955. In
this model, functional aesthetics and user
friendliness are combined. There was a big
difference between this radio and other models
of that era, with rounder shapes in dark wood or
Bakelite, often decorated with gold coloured
rims and motives. Fritz Eichler worked for Braun
from 1955 until 1978.
The edge of
the station scale is also the dial. Under the
dial, on the left, the on/off/volume control
knob and on the right the wavelength switch. At
the rear there is a tone control knob, and
connections for a 300 ohm antenna, earth and
gramophone.
The radio receives on medium wave
and FM (515-1620 kHz and 87.5-104 mHz)
