PhilR - early 60's? Auto-tuning, it looks like…not.
You and some other members have SABA's. I like these two, also: 1) 2) CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK | ||

Although I haven't heard the SABA's, I still remember the Grundig Majestic my buddy's dad owned. It had a very different sound from, as you said, the big honker Magnavox, Fisher stereo's, although it was loud enough! The German radios take me back to a time when I DX'd the shortwave stationsl and "travelled the world" as a 13 year old.
London, CBC, New Zealand, Cologne, Ghana the Ivory Coast, Vatican, VOA, and many others(I know others here have been there/done that)…. speaking of…a fun place to hear what I used to hear: CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK | ||

The Saba above does have auto-tuning, it's from the late 1950s.

Phil, I just watched the video of the Continental 410 above and I see I have commented this video just last week! I can't even remember I did! I just noticed that the guy scans a French Canadian radio station at 6:38. So he's probably not too far!
BTW, Phil, did you get my reply to your email about the Gemini 200 fridge? Phil | ||

PhilR
That's funny, you're too young for senior moments. LOL. Just kidding. We can always slip a gear here and there.
I did, I just read it a couple hours ago - I am trying to live here at aw.org and the computer when the weather is like this today(mid-60's and mostly sunny). I'll be replying to your most helpful and interesting email, Phil. PhilR#2, over and out. | ||

Saba was considered by many Germans to be one of the top quality brands of radio's from the German "economic miracle" era. German radios were part of it. I have a Saba tabletop and it sounds really good! | ||

Reply #10 - Allen….
I have the same question as PhilR. Also, if you have any pics to share, would like to see your tabletop.
There's a lot of Youtube vids on SABA's, and their technical excellence(vs. styling)is mentioned. I like the early vintage Grundigs from the 50's and early 60's, as well. Since SABA is the thread - an interesting but in German only video is here - it's really interesting to see the assembly of these tv's and radios. I'm sure these were taken minus the whips and harsher conditions the workers experienced. LOL, ok, I'm just guessing. :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO ovrphil's LINK | ||

One difference between the German/European models and those they sold in the USA (Canada got a mix of both German and American models, I used to have a German Saba Reichenau 12 console which was the equivalent of a Saba 1000-12 console that my great aunt bought brand new in Montreal) is that the FM band won't go past 100 MHZ on the 11 series or older and won't go over 104 MHZ on the 12-15 series. The North American models have a FM band that goes to 108 MHZ.
Also, the US series 11 were available with a multiplex adapter (which was standard on the 400 and Continental 410) while the European model didn't get it until the series 12. For example, I have two equivalent German Saba Meersburg 11 and US Saba 300 11 and the 300 has the FM Multiplex while the Meersburg doesn't even have the plug to connect it on the chassis. There are also differences in the shortwave bands and some pushbuttons don't have the same function (the AM band isn't on the same pushbutton on both). | ||

Allen - question for you
Wildbad 9 - now there's a rebel adventurer name. I'm wondering - does it have FM? I see AM, and it's reversed in scale, with larger frequencies beginning at the left and decreasing to the lower frequencies on the right.
I see two of these for sale, and much less expensive when bought from Germany than from the USA. Thanks for sharing. | ||
