Err... that's a whole decade earlier (1954). ;-)
German audio engineering of the Sixties was a completely different story.
For a first impression take a look at some pictures of the Braun Studio 1000 series.

Hi Dieter,
Yes you are correct 1954/55, I made a simple amateur mistake :-)
I have worked on tube radios and gear for about 30 years, however I don't recall
ever working on a Grundig 4035.

I see what you mean about the Braun Studio 1000, very futuristic for it's time,
there is some interesting gear floating around late 50's early 60's, especially the
transistor / tube hybrids.
