A highly collectible early 1970s Telefunken Digitale 101 flip clock radio, representing a refined example of German industrial design combined with advanced consumer electronics of the period. Its long horizontal architecture, paired with a high-quality molded plastic cabinet with wood-effect finish, contrasts elegantly with the dark acrylic front panel and aluminium controls, creating a clean and architectural presence typical of the era. A true design object, ideal for both collectors and interior enthusiasts. Engineering & Construction This model is equipped with a Japanese Rhythm mechanical flip clock mechanism, known for its reliability and smooth operation — a premium technical detail highly appreciated among collectors. The internal structure is clean and well preserved, showing solid construction and quality components typical of Telefunken production. Functionality (Tested) Clock: Fully functional and keeps time correctly Flip mechanism: Smooth and consistent Radio (MW / UKW-FM): Working Tuning: Fluid and precise Volume: Fully operational AFC (Automatic Frequency Control): Automatically stabilizes FM frequency, reducing drift and improving reception clarity Alarm: The alarm activates; however, timing precision and buzzer response can be inconsistent. This behavior is typical for vintage electro-mechanical systems and does not affect overall usability. Indicator light: Green central light indicating active alarm – working Audio system: Internal speaker (Made in Japan – approx. 1.5W) working Headphone / external speaker output fully functional Automatic exclusion of internal speaker when jack is inserted Condition In very good vintage condition, exactly as shown in the photos: No structural damage Light surface marks consistent with age Minor imperfection near the external speaker/headphone jack Interior clean and well preserved Mechanism visually in excellent condition Video A video showing the functionality of the item is available at the following link: https://youtu.be/0JncYMO_kUs?si=4qP7gDM5hpWBJrN2 Specifications Width: 33 cm Depth: 15 cm Height: 10 cm Weight: 1.9 kg Serial Number: 166811 Power: 220V / 50Hz (European version) Original Telefunken plug included Headphones shown in the photos are for demonstration purposes only and are not included in the sale. The last three photos are for reference. The last two images show Telefunken catalog pages (1971/1973) in which this model appears. The Telefunken Digitale series represents a key moment in design history, where mechanical flip technology meets modern electronic integration. The combination of German engineering, Japanese mechanical precision, and strong architectural design makes this piece particularly desirable for collectors and design-focused interiors.
