Description from the seller
Telefunken Beethoven 57 – Vintage Tube Radio and Record Player – Germany, 1957
Description
Magnificent radio and record-player cabinet from the prestigious German manufacturer Telefunken, model Beethoven 57 3D, made in 1957.
This is an integrated radio and playback system housed in an elegant wooden cabinet with a polished mahogany and cherry finish, featuring an attractive design characteristic of the 1950s.
The unit incorporates a multiband tube radio receiver, with a station dial on the front, tuning and volume controls, and a button-operated selector system. On top, it has an integrated record player with a three-speed selector (33, 45, and 78 rpm), tonearm, and record-changing mechanism.
The set has a carefully considered vintage aesthetic, with decorative metal details, a radio front panel with gold-tone finishes, a front speaker grille, and a hinged top compartment for accessing the record player.
The original manufacturer’s identification label is retained on the back: TELEFUNKEN FA-16106-3D – BEETHOVEN 57.

Condition
Good overall cosmetic condition, considering its age. It retains its structure, main elements, controls, button panel, and visible original components. It shows some signs of use and wear consistent with the passage of time.
The operation of all electronic components and the record-player mechanism has not been verified, so it is sold without any guarantee that it works.
Approximate dimensions and weight:

- Estimated weight: 35–45 kg.
A particularly interesting collector’s item for enthusiasts of historical broadcasting, collectors of vintage sound equipment, and lovers of mid-20th-century design.
Collection in person or specialized transport is recommended due to its size, weight, and fragility.
