Here is an obscure receiver for you. It’s a Telefunken Concerto 105. It was made in West Germany in the 60’s by the company probably more known now for their quality vacuum tubes. It featured:
- 5 bands (AM/FM/SW1/SW2/SW3)
- Dual voltage (110/220)
- 75 watts per channel
- Walnut finish w/ metal body
- 25″ by 11″ by 4″
- 15 lb weight
Not necessarily a high demand receiver among collectors but it is still an interesting unit.
A Telefunken Concerto 105 recently sold for $300.00 (8-13-2011). Not bad for an obscure receiver.
I just bought a Telefunken Concerto 105 receiver and original speakers on auction – for 300 South African rands. It was sold as a ‘tuner amplifier’. Does anybody have any idea if I could run an iPod through the system, and if so what type of connectors I need.
