Saba Konstanz.
My second "radio" conversion & proof of concept.

Strictly speaking, "radio" is the wrong term, because the Saba can now actually stream music - via WiFi or Bluetooth. It also has a connection for USB, network cable & AUX.

You can receive internet radio and control several radios in different rooms using the @arylic_audio app. 2x 30 watt speakers from @dayton.audio deliver a clean sound.

I'm not sure yet whether the antennas on the top are the solution - after all, there are controls for volume, treble & bass, as well as all connections. However, there are already other solutions - #staytuned .

Unfortunately, the Saba company has not existed since 1986. The "Konstanz" was built between 1966 and 1968.

Interested? Feel free to DM me.

Ok, I had to open it. The radio license sticker says 9 April 1951, but it isn't readable on the photo.

The radio has four tubes, and I'm pretty sure the four devices on a row on the left are the rectifier diodes. (Edit: nope, they're adjustable capacitors.)

It also seems to have 110V mode. 😊

Today we start with the first stage of restoring a LOEWE Opta Luna Stereo Type 42070W tube radio. The original state of the cabinet showed significant damage, especially the veneer, which had clear signs of wear. After careful sanding and using wood filler to repair the damaged areas, we treated the wood with our special in-house wax. This wax not only gives the wood a beautiful finish but also provides long-lasting protection. This is part 1 of the restoration – next, we will reinstall the technology. Stay tuned!

Heute beginnen wir mit der ersten Etappe der Restaurierung eines LOEWE Opta Luna Stereo Type 42070W Röhrenradios. Im Ursprungszustand war das Gehäuse stark beschädigt, insbesondere das Furnier wies deutliche Gebrauchsspuren auf. Nach sorgfältigem Schleifen und dem Einsatz von Holzkitt, um die beschädigten Stellen auszubessern, haben wir das Holz mit unserem speziellen hauseigenen Wachs behandelt. Dieses Wachs sorgt nicht nur für eine schöne Oberfläche, sondern schützt das Holz auch nachhaltig. Dies ist Teil 1 der Restaurierung – im nächsten Schritt wird die Technik wieder eingebaut. Bleibt gespannt!

Another upcycling project: We've transformed an empty case from a very old tube radio, enhancing it with a 7-8 inch (double DIN) Android car radio. Additionally, we've integrated JBL speakers with bass reflex into this radio. Typically, in such radios, the speakers share the same space. However, to preserve the bass reflex, we constructed partitions so that each speaker has its own enclosure within the radio case. This combination is our specialty, offering you many features in a classic housing!

Eine weitere Upcycling-Arbeit: Wir haben ein leeres Gehäuse von einem sehr alten Röhrenradio, erweitert um ein 7-8 Zoll (Doppel DIN) Android-Autoradio. Dazu haben wir JBL Lautsprecher mit Bassreflex in dieses Radio verbaut. Üblicherweise sind in solchen Radios die Lautsprecher im gleichen Raum. Hier allerdings wollten wir den Bassreflex erhalten und haben daher Trennwände gezogen, sodass jeder Lautsprecher sein eigenes Gehäuse im Gehäuse hat. Diese Kombination ist unsere Spezialität und bietet Ihnen viele Features in einem klassischen Gehäuse!
