A tale of two radios
Two nostalgic radios from my personal collection have been added to the www.radiomuseum.org database. The history of these Eastern European Cold War era radios is fascinating and shows a very interesting juxtaposition between attitudes towards the west, the thoughts about years preceding world war two and the economic realities of the 80’s.
Especially my model “Anno 1934” manufactured in the early 80’s in Neuruppin in the G.D.R. turns out to be the second known unit in existence. Oddly enough, in radio jargon this means that the first known unit could potentially lose its “prototype” status, making somebodies collection piece a tad less unique, whilst making mine all the more rare!
Timescale Technologies has much experience with collection photography and documentation. The radio museum has chosen to use these collection pieces as the primary reference materials for these nostalgic radios. If you have a collection in need of photographic documentation and if you can find me, then perhaps you could hire….. Timescale Technologies. (for all types of collection and procedural photographic techniques)

3 年I had no idea they were making retro style radios in the 1980s! Indeed, the front looks convincingly interwar period. For a number of years cheap faux antique radios are sold again, now with USB options. (I even spotted a new old eighties ghettoblaster.)
