Step back in time with the meticulously restored 1956-57 Blaupunkt Barcelona 3D Model 2342, now available exclusively at Old Radio Garage. This vintage tube radio, celebrated for its exceptional sound quality and elegant design, has been lovingly repaired to ensure it functions as beautifully as it looks. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts, this Blaupunkt model epitomizes precision craftsmanship and timeless appeal. At Old Radio Garage, we pride ourselves on bringing antique radios back to life, preserving the charm and integrity of each historic piece.
This Barcelona contains 7 tubes with 7 AM and 12 FM circuits. It will play almost anywhere in the world with its built-in adjustable power supply. . It has 3 speakers (hence the "3D" side high tone effect) and separate bass and treble tone adjustments. The sound is awesome! It also features an external speaker connection, and a record player input which accepts any audio input such as Bluetooth, IPAD etc. with the use of a proper cable.
The radio measures 25 x 16 x 11 inches.
This cabinet is in ORIGINAL condition...NOT restored, but hand polished to look just the way it was back in 1958. The radio retains its original wood finish which has some light imperfections which one would expect being over 65 years old. The finish has been touched up as necessary and polished to a nice shine.
I removed the chassis from the cabinet and cleaned and dusted everything, I tested the tubes, capacitors and resistors and anything that was not in acceptable ranges were replaced. The pushbutton assembly was cleaned with DeoxIT D5 and works nicely. The plastic trim, buttons and controls were cleaned and hand polished. I did replace the magic eye tuning tube with a fresh equivalent so it shines bright and responds well to station changes. The power cord was also changed for safety issues.
