Tandberg - Sølvsuper 10 + 1600X Hi-fi set - Multiple models

TANDBERG TIME CAPSULE SET

SØLVSUPER 10 PALISANDER + 1600X REEL-TO-REEL

MATCHING ORIGINAL BOXES – EXCEPTIONAL PRESERVATION – NORWAY

An exceptionally preserved original Tandberg audio system consisting of a Tandberg Sølvsuper 10 receiver in palisander and a Tandberg 1600X reel-to-reel tape recorder.

While individual Tandberg components appear on the market from time to time, complete matched systems surviving together with their original factory boxes are increasingly rare. Sets preserved at this level are exceptionally uncommon.

The original shipping labels on both boxes indicate delivery from the same dealer to the same customer, suggesting that the receiver and tape recorder have remained together since new.

The system was recently inspected and tested by an experienced Tandberg specialist who estimates that several thousand Tandberg units have passed through his workshop over the years. His immediate assessment was that this was among the most remarkably preserved Tandberg sets he had encountered.

Highlights include:

• Tandberg Sølvsuper 10 receiver in highly desirable palisander finish
• Tandberg 1600X reel-to-reel tape recorder
• Original factory boxes for both units
• Matching historical shipping labels
• Fully tested and operational
• No typical switch or control noise
• Exceptional cosmetic preservation
• Original cables and documentation retained
• Strong indications of extremely limited lifetime use

The specialist’s opinion was that the equipment appears either unused or only very lightly used before being carefully stored for decades.

Collectors of vintage Scandinavian audio equipment will understand how unusual this level of preservation is. Most surviving examples show significant wear, fading, repairs, replacement parts, oxidation or heavy operational use. This set displays virtually none of the characteristics normally associated with more than half a century of age.

The original boxes, matching shipping labels and remarkable cosmetic condition transform this lot from a collection of components into a preserved piece of Norwegian audio history.

Included:

• Tandberg Sølvsuper 10 receiver (Palisander)
• Tandberg 1600X reel-to-reel recorder
• Original factory box – Sølvsuper 10
• Original factory box – 1600X
• Original shipping labels
• Original cables and accessories shown in photographs


Exceptional vintage condition.

Both units have been tested and found operational. Cosmetic preservation is outstanding for their age. Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description.
