The Nordmende Sterling model Parsifal-us is the export version of the domestic Nordmende Parsifal-Stereo 1/616 for 1960/61.
The Parsifal-us has 4 instead of 2 loudspekers: 2 with diameter 6" x 8.5" and 2 with 4" diameter. The bands are two short wave bands (1.5-5.5 mc and 6-19 mc) instead of SW and LW. In SAMS the power transoformer is given as for primary 117 volts but on the title there is AC 110-120 / 220 volts. There are two independant AF channels but not stereo reception. Importer and distributor in the USA was Sterling Hi-Fidelity, Inc., 22-14 40th Ave., Long Island City 1, NY.

Hello: I recently recived on of these radios. It works fine on BC and SW1. Does not seem to have any reception on SW2 although I am not using an external antenna. The main problem I am inquiring about has to do with only getting reception on FM from 88 to about 100mhz. After that there is no static, no change on the magic eye, nothing. I have not recapped it yet but it sounds nice on both channels. When I put a working ECC 85 from another working radio on this radio reception deteriorates even more, yet the ECC85 from this radio works fine in others. Hopefully someone has already solved a similar problem and can point me in the right direction, Thanks.
PS: the dial glass was broken during shipping. I would be glad to use a non-export one on mine. If you have one for sale, please let me know.
