Braun SuperPhono SK 4/2 Tube Record Player/Radio by Hans Hugelot & Dieter Rams

Description

Braun 1958 SuperPhono SK 4/2 Tube Record Player/Radio aka “Snow Whites Coffin” by Hans Hugelot & Dieter Rams. This is unit is all “Original” and is one of the earliest examples of the “SuperPhono”. Some basic testing was performed. Unit does power up and the radio pulls stations but they are scratchy. The turntables motor is good and partially spins but it most likely needs cleaning and idler wheel adjustment and / or restoration. Cosmetically the plexiglass cover is in great condition no crack only some light hairline swirling. The wood sides are very nice shape with minimal wear. Through testing and physical appearance of unit in my opinion will need some mechanical and cosmetic restoration. I’m Including everything in pics which in includes a new high end capacitor for the unit, either original or vintage tubes ,a few different cartridges w/needles, turntable accessories, wiring schematic some pages of original manual. Selling “AS IS AS DESCRIBED CONDITION NO RETURNS”. Please ask any questions or request additional pictures prior to bidding.
