Lovely radio! I've been wanting a Nordmende for a while now. I've transistors from all other major German companies, but Nordmende has proven surprisingly elusive for me.
A very nice radio with that classic mid century look.. I don't think they are very common in Australia either - at least I've never seen one. I have restored a couple of Nordmende valve radios and they were very well built, well designed sets, aimed at the top end of the market. Anyway, thanks for an interesting video and I have subscribed to your channel. Cheers
The speaker looks of Japan origin and the 121-24 part number almost looks like a Zenith number. Wonder if this was built with a cooperative effort of different manufacturers.
The service manual doesn't have a parts list so I can't really tell. But I think it was uncommon for radio manufacturers to make their own speakers, certainly Hacker had a wide variation of speakers (Goodmans, Elac etc.) even with the same model.
Very nice 👍
I like Nordmende's design decision to move controls on top to allow a larger speaker.
The best cassette recorder I ever had , was one of theirs , back in the 70s .

Great radio

very nice radio there. Sounds great.
In their day, Nordmende stuff was up with the very best north European manufacturers. That looks like a lovely set.
"Well, that could describe half of Cambridge, really, couldn't it?" 😆
I tend to use Radio Cambridgeshire to demo the radios as they have more speech, so I don't have to keep cutting stuff out for fear of the ©-bots. This has the side-effect of some random bits of inspiring voice clips :-)
Very Japanesey inside, likely made in Japan or Honk Kong for Nordmende or they had a factory there? Maybe by Hitachi as it has Hitachi transistors?
