Arkona radio repair and Bluetooth integration
I have a deep affection for Western European tube radios from the 1960s; they always remind me of the one I had as a child. I recently came across this beautiful Arkona Unitra, made in Poland and distributed in Canada by Stertone-Toronto. This unit is a classic 1960s design, featuring an FM section built around an ECC85 triode and an ECL82 output tube. Despite a few hiccups, I’ve restored it to its former glory and even added a modern Bluetooth module. After posting it on Facebook Marketplace, it found a new home in just a few days.
