Only $5 for 10 PCBs and every new member get $5 bonus. + Express 24 hour / 48 hour service on pcbway.com ➠ ➠ ➠ After weeks of work, the SABA Meersburg W3 restoration is complete! In this final episode, I add Bluetooth—with a switch that only powers it when in use, preserving the radio’s amazing FM sound from any digital noise.
The cabinet restoration brings its own set of challenges, but the result is more than worth it. I also take care of a few final odds and ends, then bring everything together for the full reassembly and, finally, a chance to sit back and enjoy the incredible audio performance of this vintage masterpiece.
🔥 Thanks for following this journey—don’t forget to like, subscribe, and enjoy the sound of the past brought back to life! 🔥
