AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lorenz Super 51 – Vacuum tube radio in wood – 1951 – Germany
Description:
Original Lorenz Super 51 vacuum tube radio, produced in Germany in 1951, an interesting example of European radio production in the early postwar period.
The unit retains its elegant wooden cabinet, the fabric speaker grille, the large glass tuning scale with the main European stations, and the distinctive visual tuning indicator ("magic eye").
Inside is the original chassis with valves, speaker, transformers and components of the era. The chassis also bears the dated 1951 PTT inspection mark.
Technical documentation identifies the Lorenz Super 51 as a four-valve superheterodyne receiver, provisioned for long-, medium-, and short-wave bands and for use with a UKW/FM module. Power supply is selectable at 110 / 127 / 220 V.
Conditions and operation:
The radio powers on and the valves are energized. However, during the test it was not possible to receive radio stations. A hum/background noise is noticeable, and by gently touching some of the valves the noise varies.
The cabinet shows normal signs of age and use consistent with a device about 75 years old. The speaker fabric also shows light wear. These aspects are clearly documented in the photographs and have not been hidden or restored.
An interesting item for valve radio collectors, vintage technology, 1950s interior design, and restoration of historic radio equipment.
