INFO -- Braun Receiver

[Brian Sutin]

This is an exact description of the radio in the stereo I grew up with.
The only difference was the addition of a turntable and a larger
cabinet for holding records.  The brand name was `Kuba,'  I believe.
The guts of this radio probably appeared in many German consumer products.
