I have three German radios of my own, including the Emud T7 that transformer burnt out on a few years after it was totally rebuilt. Ron actually commented on that one while he was still with us telling us how he had a restored radio chassis do that right on the repair bench while doing the final test run. I also have the little German radio my late radio buddy worked on that made him swear to never ever repair another German radio again! I agree about the average AM performance of most German radios, though the ones I have usually do well on FM and shortwave overall. I am usually amazed how well they do with the lower tube counts, but they did tend to stick with all nine pin tubes that usually handled multiple tasks. One of the tubes in the SABA 400 for example is a triple diode-triode.
