Description from the seller
Loewe Opta Rheinperle 5219 – German valve radio – 1960s – Mid-Century design
Beautiful and authentic Loewe Opta Rheinperle model 5219 valve radio from the early 1960s. This iconic German unit combines high-quality engineering with a timeless Mid-Century design. The warm wooden cabinet, elegant dial scale and characteristic control knobs make this radio a particularly decorative collectible object.
Loewe Opta was known for its superb finish and sound quality. This model features multiple tuning ranges and a beautifully designed glass dial with European channel markings. A beautiful example of German post-war craftsmanship and design.
Condition
The radio is in nice vintage condition with normal signs of use and aging appropriate to its age. The wooden cabinet shows light wear and a few small cosmetic imperfections. Please study the photos carefully; they are an integral part of the description.
Functioning
On power-on, the unit emits noise and the controls respond. However, during testing no radio stations were received. A technical adjustment, service, or restoration may be necessary. Therefore the unit is sold as not fully functional / for revision, and also as a decorative collectible object.
