Graetz Musica 4R/417

This radio was launched in 1956 by GRAETZ, one of many the German companies that was very successful at the time in this field. They produced numerous models to suit many pockets, but were constantly trying to improve the quality of their sets to meet and surpass market expectations.

This unit has a main speaker and two satellite tweeters, which result in very good sound quality, especially using the pickup input and on FM reception.

Reception is good, with the FM being the obvious star.

It comes with separate Bass and Treble tone controls, a magic eye tube to assist tuning, and a rotating ferrite antenna to tune into MW and LW stations without the need for an external antenna. There is also a built-in FM dipole antenna, so again no external antenna is required.

This set has been completely and meticulously restored, with the tubes tested and all faulty or worn components replaced, to ensure years of service. The chassis has also been redone.
