Braun Audio. Dieter Rams Designer

I bought a Braun coffee chopper at Design Research, 57th street, NYC 1967 when in college. It still works.

After a lotta years, I wrote them asking for a new blade, got a letter back, one sentence.

"Your unit is obsolete". Not another word.

My brother bought me a blade that didn’t fit, but I learned from that blade: I sharpen the original blade myself, you make the leading edge flat, not tapered,

Fukkkker still works.

I jump about on hifishark for fun. My Tandberg TR2080 died. I’ve been learning all the cool stuff Tandberg made, very wood oriented. Then looking at vintage turntables, somehow a ’Brown’ showed up, got me curious, turned out to be Braun, let me to some cool stuff.

Unfortunately their electronics were never up to the same standards as their design. Collectible more for decoration, I guess…
