THE STORY. The history of Tesla radios is an exciting journey through 20th-century engineering and design, a fascinating chapter in the history of radio technology. Founded in 1921 as ELEKTRA in Czechoslovakia, and renamed TESLA in 1946, the company became an emblem of innovation and technological progress. The association with the name of Nikola Tesla, the visionary Serbian engineer, gives these radios a unique charm, combining the prestige of a pioneer of electromagnetism with the art of radio production. Tesla, known for his fundamental contribution to alternating current and for his eccentric personality, thus becomes a symbol of a legacy that transcends science to enter the realm of culture and the collective imagination. Tesla radios, with their Art Deco style and reliability, gained a prominent place not only in homes, but also in museums around the world, testifying to the historical and cultural importance of these devices. The Talisman 308U radio, in particular, became a design icon, loved for its aesthetics and its ability to connect people through radio waves. This story is not just about a company or a product, but about a symbol that has given voice to entire generations and continues to be celebrated in international museums as a representative of an era of extraordinary innovations and cultural changes. Tesla radios represent a bridge between the past and the present, combining technology, art, and history in a single fascinating narrative.

AN INVESTMENT OVER TIME. In our shop, we preserve the authenticity and collectible value of vintage radios. We carefully install the Erwitt Bluetooth Kit, which is removable and respects the original components. This maintains the historical and economic value of the radios, which are becoming increasingly rare and precious. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity and year of production.

TOTAL COMPATIBILITY. 100% compatible with all Apple and Android smartphones. Tablets, PCs, Macs, and any other device with Bluetooth connectivity. We are the only ones in the industry able to offer a custom Bluetooth receiver at the hardware level: we program it for each individual radio so that the Bluetooth connection name is exactly that of our brand and not a generic name.

THRILLS, AMAZES, CONQUERS. The thrill of bringing a piece of history back to life with the gestures of the last century. The new Bluetooth system starts simply by turning the radio's original power knob, and the volume is also adjustable from the knob.

FULL RESPECT FOR HISTORICAL VALUE.  Our mission is to preserve the value of the object while making it more functional for the modern era. We proudly keep the original components inside each radio during its transformation into a Bluetooth speaker. This decision is a tribute to the history of each piece and ensures that authenticity remains intact. Furthermore, we want to emphasize that our modification is non-invasive and totally reversible. Your radio, your stories, and your listening pleasure always remain at the center of what we do.

UNLIMITED STREAMING. Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Google Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, Digital Radio, and much more. Free to listen to your favorite sound stream and manage everything directly from your connected device.

THE SOUND THAT SETS YOU APART. A warm, soft, and enveloping sound, different from modern speakers. When we work on a radio, we perform a complete overhaul of the original speaker. This is because our goal is to have a unique audio that stands out for its character, timbre, and intensity. We like the idea of bringing the original "voice" of each radio back to life, elevating it to its highest potential.
