Loewe Opta Model Luna Stereo Type 52071 – Vintage Radio Receiver (c. 1964/1965) The Loewe Opta Luna Stereo Type 52071 is a classic German tube radio from the mid-1960s, embodying elegant design, stereo capability, and warm analogue sound for collectors and enthusiasts. Its large wooden case and front panel with classic push buttons make it a statement piece for any vintage audio collection. Features & Specifications - Country of Manufacture: Germany - Year: 1964/1965 - Model: Luna Stereo Type 52071 - Tube Complement: 6 tubes (ECC85, ECH81, EAF801, ECC83, EMM803, ELL80) - Semiconductors: 2x AA113, B250C100 - Principle: Superheterodyne, IF 460/10700 kHz - Tuned Circuits: 6 AM circuits, 10 FM circuits - Wave Bands: Long Wave, Medium Wave (AM), Short Wave, FM (VHF) - Power: AC 110 / 127 / 220 V - Speakers: Two, with one detachable speaker for stereo effect - Controls: Manual mono/stereo switching, push-button band selection, real analog tuning scale and indicator needle - Stereo Decoder: Built-in (manual switching, with AF118 and 2x AF126 transistors) - Audio Power: Stereo amplifier with two output stages, 4W each - Case: Veneered wood, table model with faux leather front panel - Weight: 11 kg Condition: This radio is in operational condition. FM reception and sound output are as expected, delivering rich, warm tube sound through its original speakers. On the AM bands (Long, Medium, and Short Wave), the tuning needle is currently stuck and will need to be released or serviced to fully restore AM navigation—FM operation is unaffected and works well. Cosmetically presents well, with some minor wear from age, showing its authentic vintage character. Collectable & Audiophile Value: The Luna Stereo 52071 exemplifies 1960s German engineering, with robust build, versatile band coverage, and rich stereo tube sound. Its built-in stereo decoder and detachable speaker design make it a rare and sought-after model among vintage radio enthusiasts and audiophiles. An excellent centrepiece for serious collectors or those seeking authentic mid-century stereo radio sound. Shipping: The device will be shipped worldwide, tracked and insured according to Catawiki guidelines. PS: This vintage radio receiver is operational; however, due to its age, we recommend service maintenance — specifically any mechanical adjustment (particularly for the AM tuning needle), and routine tube and electrical calibration by a qualified technician — to ensure the finest results for playback and reception for years to come. Proudly presented at SpaceTime Engineering Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KC6PJLr4Ko We will ship worldwide insured, with track-and-trace service and Catawiki smart shipping. The weight, including packaging, is approximate.
