Description from the seller
Stern Elite de Luxe R150 – Iconic East German transistor radio from 1968–1971
For sale is a Stern Elite de Luxe R150, one of the top models from Stern-Radio Berlin (VEB RFT). The portable transistor radio was produced between 1968 and 1971 and today counts as one of the most sought-after design radios of the late 1960s from the former GDR.
The de Luxe version is distinguished by its high-quality real wood veneer, the cream-colored speaker front with aluminum accents, and the distinctive metal carrying handle. The timeless design combines classical elegance with solid German engineering, making the device an attractive collector’s item.
The radio receives long wave (LW), medium wave (MW), short wave (KW) and FM. Equipped with 9 transistors, AFC fine-tuning for FM, separate treble and bass controls, and switchable scale lighting, the model offered high-end technical specifications for its time.
Particularly practical are the available TA/TB inputs (phono/cartridge and tape), through which – with a suitable adapter – modern audio devices such as smartphones or MP3 players can be connected. In addition, the radio has connections for an external speaker and a car antenna.
The unit is in a very well-kept vintage condition with attractive wood grain and a clean front. The photos are part of the description and show the radio’s optical condition.
