[return to 1960-2000 index] [SITE MAP] 1957-1961 KUBA "Komet"
NOTE: A 1961 "Komet" was sold in Koln, Germany on June 9, 2001 for DM16824.14 (about $7300USD). These sets are exceedingly rare. My thanks to Mr. Hartwig Hillebrand for providing information about this series of Kuba Komet models, which were offered for sale from 1957 to 1961. The scans below are from a German handbook of television sets, called: "Handbuch Des Rundfunk - Und Fernseh-Grosshandels"
Translation of Technical Data: TV 53 cm (21 inch) television with radio receiver and record player
(phonograph). 8 speakers total, with 2 front-facing horn speakers.
Translation of Technical Data: TV 53 cm (21 inch) television with radio receiver and record player
(phonograph). Marc Goeritz, from Cologne, Germany wrote to provide further clarification: "Vollstereo means both the record player and radio receiver are stereo. In those days receivers with a stereo amplifier but monaural tuner were very common (in Germany). This is the reason why a stereo receiver with a stereo tuner were called "Vollstereo", for example the "SABA Freudenstadt 100 Stereo" (built in 1960) reproduces only records or tapes in stereo, but radio broadcasts are received in mono. Super is an abbreviation for superheterodyne. From the middle of the 50s to the middle of the 70s the word "super" was sometimes used instead of the word Rundfunkempfänger (the German word for radio receiver). In Germany, in the 30s and 40s only very few receivers were superheterodyne. Such receivers became common in the early 50s. In the USA superheterodyne receivers were introduced earlier. "Handbuch Des Rundfunk - Und Fernseh-Grosshandels" means "wholesale handbook of the radio receiver and television receiver". Every year the radio and television wholesalers bring out a new handbook. This handbook has information for the dealers, not the customers.
Collectors have written to report that more information about this set can be found on the following German websites
