Description from the seller
Tandberg Huldra 9 – Norwegian high-end stereo receiver – Oslo, ca. 1969
An icon of Scandinavian audio engineering and mid-century design
This Tandberg Huldra 9 is an exceptionally fine and fully original stereo tuner/amplifier from the late 1960s, manufactured in Oslo, Norway by Tandberg – a brand renowned worldwide for its uncompromising quality, musical sound, and timeless Scandinavian design.
The Huldra series formed the absolute top tier of Tandberg. Within this lineup, the Huldra 9 is regarded as one of the most mature and beloved models: technically refined, powerful enough for serious loudspeakers, and built with a warm, natural sound that still impresses today.
Technology & Performance
• Fully transistor design (no tubes)
Power: about 2 × 30–35 W RMS @ 8 Ω
• Excellent, well-balanced sound signature: warm, musical, and detailed
• Very high-quality FM tuner, known for its sensitivity and stability
• Reception of FM, AM (MW/LW) and shortwave bands
• AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) for stable FM reception
This receiver is known for its laid-back listening character: ideal for jazz, classical, folk and 60s/70s rock, but also surprisingly convincing with modern recordings.
Controls & connections
• Solid aluminum rotary knobs and push buttons
• Warm amber-colored bowl light
• Connections for turntable (phono), tape, radio and external sources
• Headphone jack
• External antenna connections
Everything is logically structured, robustly implemented, and clearly designed for long-term use.
Design & finishing
• Original wooden cabinet (rosewood, depending on the series)
• Brushed aluminum front with refined typography
• Gorgeous proportions and a pronounced mid-century Scandinavian look.
This is not only an audio device, but also a design object that fits perfectly in a modern, Japandi, or vintage interior.
Authenticity
• Model: Huldra 9
• Inscription: Made in Norway – Tandbergs Radiofabrikk, Oslo
• Original serial number present
• Fully Norwegian production (no subsequent export or OEM version)
Collection value
The Tandberg Huldra 9 is highly sought after among collectors of vintage high-end audio and Scandinavian design. Especially original units with a wooden cabinet and an intact front panel, like this, are becoming increasingly scarce.
• "Fully Norwegian-built – no export version"
• 'Huldra series = Tandberg's top segment'
• "Suitable as an audio receiver and design object"
• “Original wooden cabinet – increasingly scarce”
Condition
• Very good cosmetic condition, with minimal signs of wear appropriate for its age and use
• Beautiful rosewood cabinet and clear glass window.
• Unopened and unmodified in appearance
Dimensions: H 13.6 cm x L 54 cm x D 25 cm
Weight: 9 kg
This item has been tested to work and will be packed very securely and shipped by registered mail with insurance and smart shipping.
Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
