Chord Motorette 211

The Akkord-Motorette is a radio receiver from a small series of radio sets from the company Akkord-Radio , which was produced between 1968 and 1971. The types 210 and 211 were built. The Motorrette was characterized by the fact that it was a transistor radio , which was intended for use in a car and thus an alternative to the car radio . With an appropriate bracket, they could be installed in a motor vehicle. Therefore, all controls and also the scales were attached to the top of the radio. The antenna, power supply and loudspeakers could easily be implemented with plug connections on the underside of the radio.
