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. Im 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. Steel Frame – Wood Sides – Plexiglass Cover. Dieter Rams (Designer), Hans Hugelot (Designer), Braun (Maker). Height: 11.42 in. Width: 23.23 in. Depth: 9.45 in. Mid-Century Modern (Of the Period).

Braun SK 55 radiogram. This particular radio-phonograph combination is in very nice original cosmetic condition and full working order. It has a three speed record player, 45, 33, 16 rpm. The tube radio picks up LW, MW, and UKW signals (Broadcast, Long Wave, and FM). This combination was designed by Dieter Rams and Hans Gugelot (Bauhaus / Ulmer Schule HFG aka “Ulm College of Design”). The beautiful translucent plastic lid gave this combination its nickname “Snow White’s Coffin”. Beautiful cream white metal casing with ash-veneer wooden sides. As already mentioned cosmetic is very nice for it years good, with only very little signs of wear. So the veneers are in very good overall condition with almost no areas of significant loss, marks, gouging, staining, or other forms of major damage. Please take a look at the pictures. Light surface/usage marks on the steel sheet are visible. Some close-up pictures have been attached to the description to present them more precisely. Both felt’dot’ pads are present to lid. Hinges, screws and lid stay: bright & free of corrosion. Acrylic lid is in very nice condition and shows some minor surface scratching/cleaning marks commensurate with light use.

A truly design classic by Dieter Rams which is in many museum permanent collections, including MOMA and has been featured in Wallpaper magazine. BRAUN PHONOSUPER-SK 55 RADIOGRAM // DIETER RAMS (1932- present). The clarity of form and minimalist design vocabulary associated with the German designer Dieter Rams is closely identified with the BRAUN Company. Many of his designs for domestic appliances and audio equipment feature in the permanent collections of leading museums that collect and promote design, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, in New York, which began to collect Braun products in 1958. After studying architecture at the Wiesbaden Academy of Applied Arts from 1947 to 1953 he spent three years as an apprentice cabinetmaker. This was followed by a period in architectural offices until he joined Braun in 1955. Rams epitomized the clean, austere appearance associated with a functional aesthetic and with associate designer, Hans Gugelot. The Braun range won every international design prize going. At this time he was also involved in furniture development with the designer, physicist, and entrepreneur Otto Zapf (born 1931). As Braun’s design director (from1960), he was responsible for establishing a cleanly stated and distinctive aesthetic for a wide range of products from kitchen appliances to alarm clocks, calculators, lighters, and electric razors. This aesthetic was also in tune with the outlook of the Hochschule für Gestaltung (ULMER SCHOOL), a progressive design academy with links to Braun that had been first established in 1954. His clearly articulated and austere? Unit for Vitsoe (1960) remained in production for more than 40 years. He has held a number of academic posts including, from 1981, a professorship in industrial design in Hamburg. In 1987 he became president of the German Rat-F-R-Formgebung (Design Council), which for many years had promoted the values associated with ideas of good design. In a recent design magazine (ICON), Rams is quoted as saying, ? As designers we have a great responsibility. I believe designers should eliminate the unnecessary. That means eliminating everything that is modish because this kind of thing is only short lived. Dieter Rams has received many international design awards throughout his career and his work is considered to be? Design classics of the highest. In full working order. Very nice original cosmetic vintage condition. As shown on pictures. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please no personal or postal checks. Super equipment, made by Braun.

Braun SK 5 radiogram. This particular radio-phonograph combination is in very nice original cosmetic condition and full working order. It has a four speed record player, 78, 45, 33, 16 rpm. The tube radio picks up LW, MW, and UKW signals (Broadcast, Long Wave, and FM). The beautiful translucent plastic lid gave this combination its nickname “Snow White’s Coffin”. Braun products were appreciated for their technical quality and for their severe aesthetic appeal, which was defined by the visionary designer Dieter Rams and Hans Gugelot (Bauhaus / Ulmer Schule HFG aka “Ulm College of Design”) whose design credo was back to purity, back to simplicity. Rationalisation and upper mounting of operational elements, combination of radio and phono functions, restriction of form to express the technical means of its production – legible particularly in the radiused edges of bent steel and perspex sheeting, an insistence upon flatness appropriate to the use of sheet materials and, more negatively, a rejection of the then ruling requirement that domestic audio equipment be sunk into a piece of heavy wooden furniture, all of these cement the truly iconic status of Rams’ and Gugelot’s SK series design. It retains the austere purity of the initial SK 4 and includes some minor technical advances, whilst avoiding the somewhat fussy detailing of the series’ ultimate design and follower, the SK 55. This item is made up from painted steel sheet (cream white color), ash veneer wooden sides and beautiful translucent acrylic lid. As already mentioned cosmetic is for it years is very good, with some very little signs of wear. Actually it’s covered by an original patina and besides the acrylic lid nothing has been cleaned (ok, the buttons/dials have been cleaned a little). Other than that it’s in original condition. So the veneers are in very good overall condition with almost no areas of significant loss, marks, gouging, staining, or other forms of major damage (very light stain is visible on the right hand side veneer). Very little light surface/usage marks on the steel sheet are visible, it’s in really nice condition. Some close-up pictures have been attached to the description to present them more precisely. Both felt’dot’ pads are present to lid. Hinges, screws and lid stay: bright & free of corrosion. Acrylic lid is without cracks, splits or markings and just shows just minor surface scratching/cleaning marks commensurate with light use. All graphics are complete. As mentioned paint finish is in very good condition with consistent color. Base board is excellent with valve map fixed on inside surface. Interior is clean, just a little dust can be seen on it (nothing has been cleaned, original condition), no rust or oxidation. Weight is approx 11.5 kg or 25.4 lb. Dimensions are approx: 58 x 24,4 x 29 cm or 22.8 x 9.6 x 11.4 inch. Built-in voltage converter for 110, 125, 150, 220 and 240 Volt.

A truly design classic by Dieter Rams which is in many museum permanent collections, including MOMA and has been featured in Wallpaper magazine. You can combine this combination with original Braun L1 or L11 speakers which provide even better sound and increase the already full and powerful sound of the inbuilt speaker. Please see my other.

Auctions for that and other Braun design classics. BRAUN PHONOSUPER-SK 5 RADIOGRAM // DIETER RAMS (1932- present). The clarity of form and minimalist design vocabulary associated with the German designer Dieter Rams is closely identified with the BRAUN Company. Many of his designs for domestic appliances and audio equipment feature in the permanent collections of leading museums that collect and promote design, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, in New York, which began to collect Braun products in 1958. After studying architecture at the Wiesbaden Academy of Applied Arts from 1947 to 1953 he spent three years as an apprentice cabinetmaker. This was followed by a period in architectural offices until he joined Braun in 1955. Rams epitomized the clean, austere appearance associated with a functional aesthetic and with associate designer, Hans Gugelot. The Braun range won every international design prize going. At this time he was also involved in furniture development with the designer, physicist, and entrepreneur Otto Zapf (born 1931). As Braun’s design director (from1960), he was responsible for establishing a cleanly stated and distinctive aesthetic for a wide range of products from kitchen appliances to alarm clocks, calculators, lighters, and electric razors. This aesthetic was also in tune with the outlook of the Hochschule für Gestaltung (ULMER SCHOOL), a progressive design academy with links to Braun that had been first established in 1954. His clearly articulated and austere 606-shelf unit for Vitsoe (1960) remained in production for more than 40 years. He has held a number of academic posts including, from 1981, a professorship in industrial design in Hamburg. In 1987 he became president of the German Rat-F-R-Formgebung (Design Council), which for many years had promoted the values associated with ideas of good design. In a recent design magazine (ICON), Rams is quoted as saying, As designers we have a great responsibility. I believe designers should eliminate the unnecessary. That means eliminating everything that is modish because this kind of thing is only short lived. Dieter Rams has received many international design awards throughout his career and his work is considered to be design classics of the highest. In full working order. Very good original cosmetic vintage condition. Little patina visible, can be cleaned or leave it in this condition. As shown on pictures. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Braun Atelier 1-81 radio and stereo record player. + BRAUN L1 SPEAKER. This particular radio-record player combination is in a very good cosmetic condition. It has a four speed record player with 78, 45, 33, 16 rpm. The tube radio picks up LW, MW, and UKW signals (Broadcast, Long Wave, and FM). This combination was designed by Dieter Rams and Hans Gugelot (Bauhaus / Ulmer Schule HFG aka “Ulm College of Design”). It has no nickname unlike the SK “Snow White’s Coffin” series with its translucent plastic lid, but it is a classic piece of design and unlikely to ever be remade.. Beautiful cream white metal casing with ash-veneer wooden sides. As already mentioned cosmetic is for it years good, with some signs of wear. No great paint loss, but it is not really white any more, so you would like to re-paint it again. Please see pictures below. Technically speaking the radio works very well at all signals, sound is strong and clear. The record player works at all speeds and plays a test record fine, however, the needles must be replaced, sound is a little bit flat and silent. All switches and knobs work well treble, bass, etc. Tubes can be replaced easily and the schematic and full technical specifications can be found here. Here is a quick overview. Weight: 13.3 kg / 29 lb 4.7 oz (29.295 lb). Dimensions: 583 x 293 x 290 mm / 23 x 11.5 x 11.4 inch. Power supply (switchable) 110; 125; 150; 220; 240 Volt 50-60hz. It comes with Braun L1 speaker.

The tube radio picks up LW, MW, and UKW signals (Broadcast, Long Wave, and FM). This combination was designed by Dieter Rams and Hans Gugelot (Bauhaus / Ulmer Schule HFG aka “Ulm College of Design”). The beautiful translucent plastic lid gave this combination its nickname “Snow White’s Coffin”. This item is made up from painted steel sheet (cream white color), ash veneer wooden sides and beautiful translucent acrylic lid. As already mentioned cosmetic is for it years really nice, with some very little signs of wear. So the veneers are in excellent condition with no great areas of significant loss, marks, gouging, staining, or other forms of major damage. There is just a small 2cm long abrasion on the front edge of the right veneer, but it’s very hard to see. Please see the two images below. Steel sheet is in a nice original condition for its age and some close-up pictures have been attached to the description to present it more precisely. Please see the images below. Both felt’dot’ pads are present to lid. Hinges, screws and lid stay: bright and free of corrosion. Acrylic lid is without cracks, splits or major markings but shows some very minor surface scratching/cleaning marks commensurate with light use. All graphics are not complete, the LAUTSÄRKE (VOLUME) imprint is partially missing. As mentioned paint finish is in very good condition with consistent color and with no major blemish damages. Base board is excellent with valve map fixed on inside surface. Interior is clean, no rust or oxidation. Weight is approx 11.5 kg or 25.4 lb.
