Opinions On Telefunken Opus 7
#13

Thanks Glenn. I'm waiting for my brother, I'd like him to see what we have when I bring it up. Supposedly, according to the seller, it was working fine at a cottage two years ago.

Update: I brought the radio up on the variac and it works. Some pushbutton switches are noisy, need a darn good cleaning, and the tuning eye tube is very faint, but otherwise it gave a good account of itself. Sounds wonderful! I need to free up the dial string because it will only turn in one direction with the tuning knob.

I also brought up the recently-accquired 1936 model Zenith 5S29 on the variac. This radio is working too. For a 5-tuber it's amazingly sensitive and it can get very loud.

Mike
