With all that metalwork it looks more like lab equipment than a record player. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away... |

Yeah, but it shot up to $605 in a couple of days. |

I suppose it falls into the same category as the Peter Pan Boomerang console radio - unusual but still functional. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away... |

No bidding frenzy at the end, but it was steadily heading for two grand when it closed at $1,912. |

Braun's products looked extremely elegant and functional, but they didn't always function that well. You pay for the looks, mostly. |
