Take a tour of the museum

The radio business that Stikoni took over was established at the address at Jernbanegade 37 by Andreas Duus in 1952. Duus only managed to run the business at this address until the autumn of 1955 when he died. See a picture of Andreas Duus in the series of pictures below.

On April 1, 1956, Stig Koefoed-Nielsen, or Stikoni as he called himself, took over the radio business and ran it until the spring of 2008 when illness forced him to close. After a short period of illness, Stikoni died in July 2008.

Previously, the Southern Jutland Radio Museum had been founded with the aim of preserving the environment in Stikoni's company.

The result was that EUC Syd provided a room in which the shop, office and workshop have been recreated so that it is possible to relive the special atmosphere that prevailed at Radio Stikoni.

The exhibition in the rest of the museum is based on radios from Stikoni and from private donations. However, a very significant part comes from the estate of the late "Radio Sørensen Senior" from Tinglev, where the museum received a donation of approximately 400 radios, which are of course registered and partly put in storage and partly included as part of the exhibition.

The museum's instrument collection is based on private donations, of which EUC Syd has contributed a very significant portion.

A look inside the crooked shop. The crooked angle arose when Jernbanegade was cut through to Chr. X.'s bridge in 1929

The old counter and cash register
The office with the record rack
The office from another angle
The workshop with two measuring stations

Here under the chair hung the can of Slipol - so it was always shaken and ready
The Tefifone. A "tape gramophone" that plays German schlager music
Measuring instrument collection
Instruments from the last century
Great instruments from Radiometer
In the foreground, quality instruments from Brüel & Kjær - and in the background, popular measuring instruments developed by B&O for its own production.
Tasks from radio and electronics mechanic preschool/vocational school
Assignments from the file school - unfortunately the machine vise is missing, as it was only introduced into the teaching at a later time than is applicable to this collection of assignments.

Electrical and mechanical tasks from the file school. On the left a receiver and a superheterodyne receiver - was for good reason nicknamed "The Silent Dane" among the apprentices. On the right measuring instruments
A small corner with marine electronics
From another angle
The crystal receiver - the first very simple receiver, powered solely by the energy of the transmitter, and therefore could only be listened to with high-impedance headphones

Radios from the "beginning"
Radios from World War II
Radios from smaller Danish factories - as well as a single shelf with the Norwegian manufacturer Tandberg
Radios from Arena and LL (Linnet & Laursen)
Philips radio receivers
German radios from both East and West. The Braun set on the right on the shelf was designed by Dieter Rams (educated at the Bauhaus Design School [1919-1933] in Dessau, Germany)
It was these models from Braun that inspired B&O to the design that became the hallmark of the company from around 1964 until today.
B&O from 1936 - the design has changed as much as the technology

Nice old receivers from B&O
B&O Grand Prix from 1953 - here every detail is taken care of
A wall of B&O models representing approximately the last 40 years of the last century
Sit down here, turn on the radiogramophone and dream yourself back in time

The Nostalgia Corner from a different angle
Nostalgia Corner equipped with a new shelf, as well as a front wall, which partly helps to frame the corner, and partly serves as a shelf wall for smaller radio receivers.

Andreas Duus (1922-1955) - the founder of RADIO Duus, which later became RADIO Stikoni
A Philips receiver type 638U from 1934
The 638U receiver without the back cover. It's a joy to see the electronics in the old receiver, which otherwise works excellently.
The diagram of the receiver, which is from the time when the "battle" was between the direct receiver and the superheterodyne receiver (called the superreceiver).

Here the old radios are renovated
