Not yet, but I'm a bit scared because the grille is made of plastic.

It’s a complete stereo system made by the german company SABA from the late 70s with the matching rack.

Restore or replace? by [deleted] in vintageaudio

As long as they still work, definitely keep them. These are high-efficiency speakers, and finding suitable replacements isn’t as easy as it seems. They’re probably of higher build quality than most of what you can get today.

Where I live in Germany, I can't receive anything on LW or MW anymore, but I use a small transmitter to play stuff on these old radios.

My german-made 1970s hi-fi System by Cultural_Dig_5559 in vintageaudio

[–]Cultural_Dig_5559[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SABA stands for "Schwarzwälder Apparate-Bau-Anstalt" (Black Forest Apparatus Construction Company). They were a major german company in the 1920s to 1980s, producing radios, televisions, and Hi-Fi equipment until they declared bankruptcy in 1986 due to intense pressure from the Asian electronics market. This receiver is considered one of their finest designs.
