Franzis Verlag The Franzis tube radio for DIY

Powerful remote reception with nostalgic high-frequency tube! Listen to the radio like over 60 years ago. The complete package with tube, housing and all required components.

Tube radio as a kit!
Build your own tube radio that combines old and new technology. The tube provides for strong reception and the tube sound typical, pleasant sound. A modern audio IC and a high-quality speaker ensure optimum volume.

The special sound of a tube radio

Perhaps you can still remember the tube radios from the 50s, the mysterious green glow of the magic eye, the pale light of the scale illumination, the glow of the tubes, if you took a look inside - with the polished wooden case and on the beautiful sound.

You always had to wait a minute for the tubes to heat up. Amp tubes still play an important role in broadcasting and audio. Own experiments with tubes are therefore more than just a nostalgic look back, they also lead to concrete and serious applications.

The special highlight
A viewing window allows you to observe the tube during operation! Control knobs for volume, feedback and frequency are available as well as the ground connection and three antenna sockets.

With the tube radio on world reception
With this tube radio you bring stations from all over the world to your home. Even amateur radio stations can be received with the device. The tube radio reaches the reception strength of a modern world receiver.
Let yourself be carried away to the good old days - when it was still common to build a radio yourself.
