Restoring a 1956 Braun TS2 Radio: Power Test, Rectifier Upgrade, and Design Review - pt1

This 1956 Braun TS2 tube radio was light-years ahead of its competition in both design and aesthetics. While most radios of the era were bulky, trimmed in gold, and housed in dark wood, the Braun TS2 introduced sleek, minimalist lines that signaled a shift in modern design. Even back then, Braun was paving the way toward the iconic, clean look that would define its future, later perfected by the legendary Dieter Rams. His “less but better” philosophy helped create designs that remain timeless, even over 60 years later. In this video, I kick off the restoration process by focusing on the power supply, where I’ll be trying out my custom Silicon Diodes with MOSFET voltage dropper circuit to replace the original selenium rectifier. Join me as I bring this design marvel back to life and stay tuned for more episodes in this exciting series! 🎥 Back to basics Series Many tasks in this video are covered briefly, without deep explanations of the theory—especially for those new to tube radio restoration. For a more detailed understanding, I’ve created a tutorial series called “Back to Basics,” which goes into the concepts in depth. I recommend watching those videos to better follow the steps I don’t fully explain here.
