Siemens TRABANT DE LUXE – car cassette recorder and portable radio in one
At the end of the 1960s, Siemens launched an “all-rounder” radio as it was advertised: The TRABANT DE LUXE. The radio could receive long wave, medium wave, short wave and VHF. It had a cassette player and also came with a microphone. The Trabant didn’t need an external power supply, but was battery operated and could also be connected to a car battery. An additional power pack was available for purchase to allow it to be connected to the power grid.
In terms of its shape and handle, the Trabant was a typical portable radio, a transistor radio that could be taken on trips thanks to its low weight and compact size. Advertising slogans claimed: “Überallradio für Camper.” (The mobile radio companion for campers), “Musikmaschine für Individualisten.” (The musicmaker for free spirits), “Beifahrer. Entertainer. Wachhalter” (Companion. Entertainer. Reviver.)
Mit einer Halterung kann das Siemens Trabant im Auto befestigt werden. Autoradios sind zu dieser Zeit oftmals noch nicht fest eingebaut. Die Mitarbeiterzeitschrift inform weist noch 1992 darauf hin, dass der ADAC wegen der Diebstahlgefahr die Anschaffung eines herausnehmbaren Radios empfiehlt.[2] In den 1950er Jahren sind Autofahrer sogar mit tragbaren Plattenspielern für Singles unterwegs. Die Kassette löst die Platte im Auto bald ab, sie ist einfach praktischer.
An unterschiedlichen Orten einsetzbare Kombigeräte wie das Siemens Trabant sind damals beliebt, weil sie den Kauf mehrerer Radio-/Musikgeräte überflüssig machen. „Handgepäck für Hellhörige.“, “Diktiergerät für alle, die etwas zu sagen haben.“, „Sein Parkplatz: das Armaturenbrett.“[3]
