got this BASF mono beauty today. getting this was absolute coincidance, i wasn't looking for it, it found me:
The FM buttons might put it after 1977? I don't know when that technology started, my little multi-band radio had individual tuners for the "presets." The only BASF BBX's I can find are in the EU but that looks like it would look great on display, especially with the red lit dial.
radiomuseum.org dates it 1978, with a questionmark: https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/basf_d2100d_210.html
Nice tuning dial and overall design. Being so heavy it must have a lot of metal inside. I would say it is guaranteed good quality But... tell us the story of how it found you? Indeed this is how it happens... destiny and all that
well, not a big thing. MisterX was just posting those old BASF adds quite a while ago, so i got involved, as that's a brand, i never gave much attention to (allways having in backmind that it's crap). well, i researched and researched and found pics of that (similar) mono. the "must-have"-reflex was there, i looked for one but the only ones for sale had dream-prices. well, i forgot about them as live gave me other priorities - and there it popped up in some other forum i join, in the buy/sell/trade-thread just when i was reading there, for quite a fair price, how could i resist ? here a quick overview with open back - anybody any idea what aka ? i suspect AIWA, Crown or National (???) scale rope had jumped off, first i needed a while to understand how to get to it, but finally got it solved. everything works perfect, keeper
Yeah those ads with crazy dream prices... Then ones shows up for normal sane price... I know how that is! Mayne made by National (Panasonic) is my guess.
National is my suspected favourite, too. anyway, congrats to all Canadadians for a successful election
