Im Gegensatz zu Radioempfängern für kommerzielle und/oder militärische Zwecke und den frühen Empfängern für Morsezwecke nennen wir hier Radio bzw. Rundfunkempfänger. Aber: Gemäss internationaler Sprachregelung führt der Radiokatalog Band 1 alle Empfänger mit aktiven Bauteilen als RADIO. Wir unterscheiden hier ebenfalls nicht, ob mit Röhren bestückt, hybrid, mit Transistoren oder/und ICs.Radio or Tuner

I recently purchased this radio. When it arrived I found that the Dial glass was broken -- the radio had been poorly packed. I found another Concertino 8 and purchased it. When it arrived, guess what, its Dial glass was broken too. So now I have two Concertino 8's both with broken Dial glass. I would be happy if I could make one good radio out of the two. Please, if anyone should happen to have a scrapped Telefunken Concertion 8 that I could purchase the Dial glass, let me know. I would be happy to purchase it plus shipping costs. Thanks

Good morning fellow radio enthusiasts!
I recently bougth a Telefunken Concertino 8 in Germany to replace another FM radio in my house that got broken and will take a very time-consuming repair.
First of all please let me express my admiration for the german radio industry of those times and the goals it achieved with outstanding products like the Concertino series. I am impressed by the overwhelming quality of this radio and by all the facilities with which it is equipped. The sound especially left me literally open-mouthed. The rotating ferrite antenna is another great feature.
Now to my question. It seems to me that the only "usable" setting for the equalization buttons is the "orchestra" setting. With "jazz" and "solo" my unit emphasises the high frequencies to such a point that the audio gets extremely fatiguating. Low frequencies are emphasised as well, but not as much as the high ones. In addition, the "treble" control, which is very effective when the radio is used in the "orchestra" setting, seems to have almost no effect when in "jazz" or "solo" mode. The bass control, instead, always effects the sound as it should.
I would like to read other owner's impressions on this topic. Is this expected? Perhaps those settings were designed to be used on AM broadcasts, where high frequencies are much less than in FM and thus need to be emphasised? Or does the equalizer of my unit definitely need to be checked?
Thank you.

A new problem has developed with my Concertino. after playing at reasonable volume(not so much to distort the sound) for a minute or two the sound begins to become very distorted. It does not happen after being switched on for a while, in which case I would assume it to be a capacitor which leaks when heated up, only after playing at volume. Does anyone know if this points to a specific area I should look for the fault?

Hello I am beginning restoring a concertino 8 and have never worked on german radios before,only Australian ones. the sound is distorted and "blotchy" when connected to an external line in source suggesting problem is in audio amplifier.Does anyone know of a common cause for this before I go replacing all the capacitors in the audio amp section? From studying the circuit it appears that the triode bit of the EABC80 is part of the audio amp and the rest of that valve is for something completely different,is that correct? the voltages are about 20% low,is that enough to make a difference? They are high on switch on but drop with warm up and the rectifier gets warm suggesting there is some power dissipation in the rectifier,I thought of changing for new silicon rectifier diodes,is that a good idea?
If anyone can advise me it would be appreciated, I have some but limited knowledge of radio cicuits.
thanks
