Vintage 1959 Blaupunkt Frankfurt Tube Radio & Matching Tube Amp
Sunday, August 2nd, 2026


Up for sale is a genuine, vintage 1959 Blaupunkt Frankfurt tube car radio complete with its matching remote tube amplifier unit and authentic-style Mercedes-era black and chrome knobs. This unit has been bench-tested and is in fully working operational condition. As is typical for authentic vintage tube radios, the tubes require a brief warm-up period of a few seconds after powering on before coming alive with clear sound. (Note: The Longwave [L] band pulls static interference during garage testing, consistent with local signal availability). Cosmetics & Components: Features a clean chrome faceplate, intact pushbuttons with crisp lettering (U-U-M-M-L), and the original perforated housing with authentic patina. Includes the complete wiring harness, connectors, and separate tube amplifier output stage. Fitment: Correct period-style aesthetic often sought after for classic European restoration projects (such as vintage Mercedes-Benz dashboards). Please review all photos and the included video demonstration, which shows the actual power-up sequence, dial illumination, and live tuning response across the bands. Tested, complete, and ready for your restoration project.
