Lot #2268: Vintage Nordmende Globetraveler Stereo Typ 103 Portable Radio – LW/AM/SW/FM with Detachable Speakers – With Custom Leather Case – Made in Germany

Working vintage Nordmende Globetraveler Stereo portable radio, the clever West German “fold-out” stereo with detachable speakers, complete with its own custom-made leather carrying case! - check out the videos. This radio comes from the estate of a dedicated radio and audio hobbyist who spent over 50 years working on, servicing, and collecting vintage radios. He took great pride in his collection, and this radio is a perfect example. It was kept in a custom-made brown leather case with a zip-down front panel and a handwritten label identifying the model (“Nord-Mende Typ 103”), just like other prized pieces in his collection. Nordmende was one of Germany’s great radio manufacturers, and the Globetraveler was among its most innovative portables. Its two speaker cabinets hinge closed against the radio for travel, or swing out and detach to give true stereo separation. With longwave, AM, shortwave and FM reception, it lived up to its “Globetraveler” name. The brushed silver front shows off a four-band dial with separate AM and FM tuning knobs, a stereo indicator and woodgrain-look speaker grilles. It’s a beautiful piece of German design and engineering. Be sure to check out our other vintage radios listed in this auction!
