Sacrilege or an interesting idea?

I found this interesting picture of a modified Saba Freiburg 11.

The cabinet has been cut to fit the power amplifier and the power supply only. It became now an amplified loudspeaker.

Nice to build two of these as satelite speakers for the radio!

A lot of work, and high woodwork skills are required though.

What do you think about this idea? Interesting to know your thoughts.... We need to think that this person "destroyed" on radio to build this loudspeaker!

Pablo !!

There is your brass ring !!

In my oppinion its ok to do such work as long as a good looking and restoreable radio didn´t have to die...

As you said, the manufacturer must have great skills in working wood, cutting glass etc.

Dieter!

I wish I could find out who made it. Yes, there should be one knob available in somebody's drawer

Hi folks,

I'll tell you who did this Job: Photoshop! It's a fake, that's evident. (I know this photo for many years.) If you don't believe this, just take a careful look to the front edge on the top side.

The angle of the volume knob´s axis isnt´t 90° to the scaleglass as it would be if the photo had really been taken right from the front.
-> pathetic fake!

Unfortunately, I can't find the blog any more....

I found it in a blog where they were saying that they kept the part of the chassis containing the power transformer and the two output tubes to come up with an active speaker.
In this blog there were other pics of Freiburgs.

Yes, according to the details you guys point out, it is photoshop.... How nice it would be to build a pair of amplified satelite speakers like this for the radio!
