Restoring a 1959 SABA Lindau Automatic Stereo Console and the DUAL 1004 Record Player. 

Increíble, un magnífico trabajo. Enhorabuena.

Hitler probably used the same exact stereo in his Bunker. Him and Eva Brawn would put on record and slow dance in their Bunker. 😂

Your first ever console is too cool for words. Those Grundig speakers are incredible! You get to work on some fantastically rare, complicated , and sophisticated vintage stuff! That cracked potmetal disk might break further in the future and jamb up the FM part. Might have gone with trying to wipe on some JB weld on it just to stabilize it and keep it in one piece. That was one hell of a restoration job. Thanks for showing it.

Could you imagine the men working on and designing the mechanism of the turntable, crazy geniuses.

Holy Moley so much Caps in that baby! The Germans sure know how to build Electronics!

Had a Siemens hi-fi much like your Saba with the very same Dual turntable. Was so impressed with it's unique engineering that I own a Dual CS5000 now.

That is the neatest turntable I've ever seen! You can probably could replace the little rubber wheel on the cart with a pinch roller !

Wish I was your Neighbor.......

Too bad that tuner clutch is so complicated... otherwise you could 3d print a replacement for it...

It goes to show you things were advance even in the 50's

Great work, Steve!

You sir, are a genius!

To my understanding for that cartridge switch, in Europe 'M' setting was for microgroove (mono or stereo etc) and the 'N' was for _normal_ or 78 groves - kinda strange but the UK equivalent they used 'S' for _standard_ (78s).
