1955 Telefunken Opus 6 acquired today!
#2

Hello. Your Telefunken is in perfect condition for a German top radio from the 50s, bought for $60. There are no such low prices for premium Telefunken even in Europe. Judging by your photos, the repair of the body of this radio will take a maximum of a week and in Ukraine the cost of materials for restoration would be limited to another $20...$30. Plus the cost of your work. I think this is a find. Yes, you will have to work hard with your own hands, but if you try hard, you will get a diamond for the price of a cheap plastic decoration. The main thing is not to rush and very carefully remove the remains of the old varnish and carefully sand the old veneer so as not to remove too much. But if you do not have experience working with wood, it is better to trust a specialist so as not to spoil this receiver. Here are links to three German radios that were in a similarly deplorable state and that I restored about 10 years ago.
