Blaupunkt Diva Portable Radio - 1969 West German LW/MW/SW/FM Classic

In this video on SpaceTime Engineering, we showcase the Blaupunkt Diva Portable Radio, a beautifully styled West German transistor radio from 1969.

The Blaupunkt Diva is a classic Kofferradio, or portable suitcase-style radio, from the era when German radio engineering was known for solid build quality, elegant design, and excellent analog reception. This model combines practical portability with multi-band coverage, making it much more than a simple AM/FM receiver.

The Diva covers Long Wave, Medium Wave, Shortwave, and FM, giving listeners access to local broadcasts, regional stations, international shortwave signals, and FM radio. It uses a superheterodyne receiver design with AM and FM intermediate frequencies commonly listed as 460 kHz and 10.7 MHz, and features a 10 cm dynamic loudspeaker for strong portable audio.

Key highlights include:

The design is also part of its charm. With its strong rectangular cabinet, chrome detailing, large speaker area, and analog dial, the Diva has the unmistakable look of late-1960s European consumer electronics.

In this video, we take a close look at the radio’s exterior design, controls, tuning scale, band selection, build quality, and overall vintage character.

The Blaupunkt Diva remains an interesting collectible for fans of vintage radios, German electronics, shortwave listening, transistor receivers, and classic Blaupunkt design.

Disclaimer: Reception quality depends on antenna position, location, time of day, radio condition, local interference, and the availability of active LW, MW, SW, and FM broadcasts in your region.
