Pamono RT 20 Table Radio by Dieter Rams for Braun Ag, Germany, 1961> Electronics

Table Radio – RT 20 Designer: Dieter Rams Year: 1961 Manufacturer: Braun AG Kronberg Country: Germany Measurements: H 26 cm W 50 cm D 19 cm Material: Sheet iron graphite lacquered and screen-printed, pear tree box, white pressboard back and screen printing, tube device (!), Original connection cable and plug, melamine control buttons. Condition: good original condition Special Remarks: slight traces of wear. In the meantime you rarely see Dieter Rams’ RT 20. Our copy has been preserved in the original and shows a slight patina. The pear tree veneer on the sides and the top panel shimmers warmly under the silk-matt, original clear lacquer. Slight traces of old, superficial signs of wear can be seen on the front. The lettering is original and completely preserved. At the age of 29, Dieter Rams designed this table radio for BRAUN in Kronberg. Completely detached from the predecessor models, the receiver has a new design language and operating concept. The buttons are arranged horizontally or vertically according to their function and have different surfaces. Originally designed for long, medium and VHF reception, a phono (record player) could also be connected. The bevelled front gives the device additional dynamism, the labels are screen printed and are mostly faulty, but still good here.
