Description from the seller

Discover Telefunken Italia's Spyder R441 SHORTWAVE-ONLY, a 1965 excellence born for enthusiasts of high-quality portable radios.

Designed in Milan, this pocket radio combines compact design with reliable technology: measuring only 175 x 100 x 45 mm and weighing 0.6 kg, it is perfect for those who love to carry music with them wherever they go.

Equipped with a superheterodyne principle and an intermediate frequency of 455 kHz, the Spyder R441 receives exclusively medium waves (MW) from 520 to 1680 kHz, ensuring precise and clear tuning. Powered by three dry cells of 1.5 Volts, it delivers an output power of 0.2 W through a 7.6 cm dynamic loudspeaker, for a crisp and immersive sound.

Made from sturdy plastic rather than bakelite, this radio represents postwar innovation in the Italian radio industry. The Spyder R441 model is the ideal choice for anyone seeking a portable, functional radio with refined design, a symbol of Telefunken excellence. Available at the time at the price of 21,900 ITL, today it is an unmissable collector's item.
