    Wow, they're still making these!? Had a stereo pair (one of these plus one with just the alarm clock but both connected together to generate proper stereo) back in the early-mid 2000s that cost me just over $1000 back then and yes, very nicely designed & built, very decent tuner and pretty good sound… but that was back then! Not sure I could even justify this price now, especially when it doesn't have DAB+ or Bluetooth or even a USB port. Hmmm.

      especially when it doesn't have DAB+ or Bluetooth or even a USB port.

      If you are after these then you are not in their targeted market.

        Ha, possibly… but I just looked up their latest offerings and it seems they offer all these extras on their more expensive models so yeah, I think I am in their target market afterall :)

        • Pricebeat on 30/11/2018 - 10:56

          Lol seriously and why would you want USB on a radio? isn't the whole point of radio is to listen to whatever comes on. I would say this will be perfect for elderly not wanting to deal with Bluetooth and USBs.

            @Pricebeat: It's just handy to have a convenient USB power source where these would most probably be used (ie. bedside table) to reduce the clutter of power supplies & extra cabling. I mean it adds what 50c to the manufacturing cost?! Fair call though, it's a simple radio for people who only need simplicity. All good.

            • Pricebeat on 30/11/2018 - 11:16

              @SteveAndBelle: Connect audio out from say Echo if you really want to control it digitally.

                @Pricebeat: Oh yes, absolutely. I was thinking more along the lines of a Google Chromecast Audio and how much nicer would that setup be if the Tivoli had a USB port :)

            @Pricebeat:

            why would you want USB on a radio?

            Because the radio is connected to a set of speakers, and people might want to play other stuff through those speakers.

            • Pricebeat on 30/11/2018 - 13:54

              @HighAndDry: I am sure there are other devices at your home with speakers and USB port in them. If that’s not sufficient, then this wouldn’t be sufficient for you either

              • HighAndDry on 30/11/2018 - 14:00

                @Pricebeat: I didn't say why radios must have a USB port, I'm merely answering the question of why some people may want a USB port on a radio.

  • ajole on 30/11/2018 - 10:55

    I have one of these and can definitely recommend for a simple FM/AM radio. Sound is great and fills a (small) room. I got mine second hand for around this price - this is a bargain!

    It has a duel power source (mains or DC) but the mains is US voltage only (not 240V). I'd recommend getting a DC adapter instead of a step down voltage converter which is way too bulky for such a small piece of kit. I got one from ebay for ~5-10 bucks.

  • capnstoobie on 30/11/2018 - 11:00

    I have one of these (purchased in 2007) and it does have a nice warm sound. Unfortunately, turning the tuner dial is extremely crackly, so I virtually can't use it anymore.

      Thats just dust - some electrical contact cleaner spray will fix that right up

      • capnstoobie on 30/11/2018 - 11:18

        Thanks for your comment. Where would I need to spray this? Do I need to open up the radio to get to the insides?

        • Pricebeat on 30/11/2018 - 11:21

          WD-40

        • SteveAndBelle on 30/11/2018 - 11:30

          … or just do this… found after a 2-second Google Search :) Prolly best to try this first before ripping your lovely Tivoli open and attacking its insides.

          I've used regular WD-40 in the past in absolute emergencies when I haven't had my usual nerd kit at hand and the lubricant content of it does the trick but only ever use the smallest amount, in fact a single drop is probably twice as much as you need as long as you can get a direct hit to the internal wiper of the device in question. Far far faaaarrrr better than WD-40 is the good stuff… Deoxit. It comes in two flavours, a lube for volume pots & sliders etc. and a contact cleaner for switches and other mechanical type electrical contacts. Every geeks toolkit should have both but for the 'regular Joe' DIYer it's a bit expensive with even the smallest cans at around $30each. Insanely good stuff though and has fixed around 80% of the Vintage Hifi faults I've put my hands to on the first go without even needing to do anything else!

            @SteveAndBelle: I did this 2 second Google search myself a few years ago :) Exercising the tuner knob had some benefit, but it was very short lived. I'll try the contact cleaner tonight though.

              @capnstoobie: Yeah, that was actually one of the reasons I sold my set off. Brilliant in so many ways BUT for the money they really shouldn't ever have such basic issues as these. I've got a few classic Tuners & Amps from the late 50s in my collection that haven't developed this problem so why should a premium product only 15 years old be effected by it? The good news was that I kept everything and sold them as 'as new' while the Tivoli stuff was still uber-fashionable so I got a very decent price for it all :) No biggie.

          Spray it into the pots or turning capacitor.
          If they post are unsealed you can just spray it into the holes in the body and work the knobs. If access is difficult, you can pull the knobs off and just spray direct
          NOTE WD40 do make a version but specifically 'electrical contact cleaner', definitely not the usual WD40 water repellent
