Isadora Duncan Worked For Telefunken !!...Very Nice Radio Andrew Reminds Me a Bit Of My Tandburg TP41 Which Also Uses Frako Caps And Is Also a Nightmare To Restring My Mate Pat Martin Played Bass On The B Side Of Kates Army Dreamers Single Great Upload Andrew Regards mike
Thanks for the look see Andrew. Always interesting for me as we don't see many vintage European or UK radios on this side of the pond. Looking forward to Part 2. Stay well. ATB Doug.
Well it took some doing to pause in exactly the right spot for Kate but I managed it 😁. I’ve got a Nordmende here with a seized tuning cap that needs sorting. I can’t remember what I used for the last one I did but think it might have been WD40 applied over a couple of days. Very well made radios. Great job freeing it up and I look forward to the next part. Cheers Graham
A nice look at a vajazzle... plenty of bling there and a few bits to do. That tuning cap looked like a real bummer to get to properly with the solvent and the heat.
Ooow stuck soild bearings, i was thinking to hold a large soldering iron on each bearing, some heat would have got thought, most would have escaped to the body of the capacitor. Petrol is my favorite tool, no i'm not george :-D Ahh kate bush, mad dancer lol.
Hi ZX, you can't even see the bearing end let alone get a tool on it :) The heat did the best job but I thought lighter fluid might get the job started.
Exactly, a fine British made radio. Little do people know that the Made In West Germany moulded into the back was a cunning move to confuse customs. These radios were actually made in Squelch-By-The-Sea, in Scumshire :)

Hi George, yes really awkward to access, you can't get to the bearing end really so just aim some oil in the general direction and hope!
Thank you for sharing👍✔💖

I ussed to have a 205 and a 207 great radios that i wish i had never sold.
It does sound good Rob. I was wondering if it would sound even better with a bigger speaker, like a Goodmans out of a Hacker (not that it would fit).
Thanks for your nice video ! ❤
Ahh Kate Bush. She certainly got my radio working.
She was definitely top totty, even hardcore heavy metal fans would go all dreamy eyed at the mention of Kate back in the day
Nice Hacker . Better than that German stuff.
