Lot #2180: Vintage ITT Schaub-Lorenz Junior 20 FM/AM Portable Transistor Radio – Wood Case – With Leather Carrying Case & Power Transformer – West Germany

Working ITT Schaub-Lorenz Junior 20 portable radio, with a warm wooden cabinet and classic German styling, complete with its leather carrying case and a matching power transformer! 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. This radio was kept in a burgundy leather zip case with his handwritten label, and he set it up with a power transformer that he labelled “Transformer for Schaub Radio Junior 20.” Schaub-Lorenz, part of the ITT group, was one of the well-known names in German radio. The Junior 20 is a compact portable that receives FM (UKW) and medium wave (AM). Its black dial is printed with the classic European broadcasters of the day: Saarbrücken, Bremen, N-WDR, RIAS Berlin, SFB, SWF, DLF, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Paris, Hilversum, Luxembourg, Monte Carlo, Beromünster and Wien I. It’s a lovely snapshot of European radio in its golden age. The cabinet pairs real wood ends with a woodgrain-ribbed speaker front, chrome trim, a chrome swing handle and a telescopic antenna. It’s a great piece for collectors of German transistor radios and mid-century design. Be sure to check out our other vintage radios listed in this auction, including more German radios!
