model Mambo
Nice MW/LW early Nordmende radio from 1958 with 7 transistors: 3 Telefunken glass HF OC600 series and 4 Valvo OC70 series in the LF section. Nice powerfull speaker with great sensivity. Works on 2x4.5V flashlight cells for 9 V supply.
Mambino I

inside photo
Made in Germany 1962 - 6 Valvo transistors - wooden case - pcb inside, air variable condenser not on pcb - 9 V supply by two 4,5V batterys.
Mambino II
Quite the same as Mambino I, 1963 - 6 Valvo HF and Intermetall LF transistors, the Intermetall ones are rather noisy and needed replacement in the first two LF stages - front is different - it has better sound and reception.
Stradella (K49) type I
Made in 1964 - Electronicly nearly the same as Mambino, exept FM - MW / SW / FM (VHF) with telescope antenna - different scale (K 49) - with SW 49 meter band, no LW - low sensivity VHF - 9 transistors HF: Valvo, LF: Siemens - 9 V supply.
Cambridge
Made in 1969 - 10 transistor AM/FM/SW radio -

Made in 1968 - 12 transistor AM/FM/SW radio - oval speaker - final output transistors with air cooling fins for 1Watt stage.
All band reciever of 1971 - covers SW / MW / LW / FM - SW2 spread in 11 bands - SSB BFO - HF ajustable preamp - squelch - bandwidth switch - 2 speakers HF/LF with filter - many external connections - radio plays extremely well and has good overall performance on all bands, FM included - AC/DC 9-12V and 110-220 V -
