Nice looking box, I've never seen one before.
The speaker areas remind me a lot of the Aiwa CS-660 but I like the big chrome dust caps on the Telefunken better.
:yes:

Hey MasterBlaster84,

these radios are hard to find in the united states but in germany always many of them are for sale on ebay. there is also a cr 50 and a cr 100 from telefunken (design very similar to the cr 30) but i never heard one of them :sad: i hope someone of you have one of these models

I have the Telefunken CR 20, CR 30 and used to have two CR 100 but I gave those to good friends :-)

The CR 100 is a very nice boombox, especially for its size :yes: It has good clear highs and good bass, looks classic with lots of metal, chrome and double antennas.

The CR 30 is a bit smaller and a lot less cool. The looks are very similar, but less knobs/switches and only one antenna. Line-in: check :-) But no phono which is unusual, many boxes only have phono but no regular line-in. No separate bass/treble, just tone control :thumbsdown: The sound is nowhere near the CR 100 - although it can get rather loud and the bass is decent for the size. It's a neat box and worth spending a few bucks on but it's more of a nice-box-for-10$-at-the-thrift.

The CR 20 is a lot smaller, almost a mini. It has even less controls, only power, function, MW/FM/FM stereo switches and volume, balance, tone knobs. But it has line-in :yes: Pretty much like the CR 30 it's a decent box for its size. It's not exactly loud and definitely no deep bass monster but it sound kind of punchy.

Sorry for the bad pic quality, the light is pretty dim here.

I never had or heard the CR 50 but I think it's a CR 30 with a clock instead of the writing "4 speaker 2 way power system".
I prefer the CR 100's looks :-)

Its sound quite ok. Looks pretty good. Mine is pretty dirty and scratched. Spent a bit too much on it unfortunetly.
