Vintage Braun T1000 executive world radio. Metal aluminium body and handle. The Braun T 1000 is a collector's item sought after.. 360cm X 260cm X 1335cm AM FM LW radio antennae 8kg Brushed aluminium body Free Shipping The receiver is Braun's only serious world band receiver, it was popular with the German diplomatic corps, among others. The most impressive thing about the Braun T1000 is the straightforward Braun design and receiver concept was introduced, with the characteristic elements of the large dial and the turret tuner, which can still be found years later in the world band receivers from Grundig and Nordmende. The mechanical workmanship and stability are outstanding. The turret tuner with gold contacts still works reliably after decades and the tuning is free of play. The portable set has a large front speaker on the left, and a metal cover protects the dial and controls on the right. The frequency dial is designed as a horizontal analogue dial, the radio and amateur radio bands are marked but there is no bandspread for the broadcasting bands. One tuning knob each is used to tune the AM ranges and the FM boradcast band. Compared to sets with a linear dial based on the Wadley loop principle or even sets with a digital frequency display, the dial accuracy is insufficient from today's point of view. To be able to tune in a specific station, some knowledge of the band assignments and the interval signal for identification is required.
