To Zeng, a high quality radio, like the ones many people grew up with, have a special
place in their heart. In China, the famous wood radios of the past were brands like Panda,
Red Lantern and Shanghai and are similar to the overseas brands like Grundig and
Telefunken. Zeng still owns the vintage Kaige 455D tube radio he purchased in 1971
along with its original receipt and the radio remains a prized possession to he and his
family even today. While he had thought many times of designing and manufacturing
radios, it was during an invitation to a Guangdong radio station interview, where he saw
many vintage radios on display that he decided to start work on a new model.
That decision was the start of a new chapter in Zeng's life and a long journey that brings us
to today's Tesslor brand of radios. Since Zeng had set a very high standard for himself and
his products, the process of developing the new radios faced many obstacles, much trial
and error, many special circuit designs, many technical challenges solved and the
awarding of several patents along the way. As new models rely heavily on R&D costs,
special tooling, and special manufacturing processes, even small items such as knobs,
buttons and small parts must be made from scratch in small batches and at a high cost.
The result of Zeng's exceptional vision and efforts is a line of ten products unlike anything
in the marketplace. The designs, philosophy, technology and manufacturing process are a
blending of old and new. Even the 60 day-long process of forming, curing and finishing
the wood cabinets is from another age. It's almost as if Zeng somehow reached back to the
time of his youth to craft a radio that spans two different eras. In doing so, Zeng has
created a product that has the spark of the modern age but the soul of a vintage radio.
Unlike mass produced consumer products, your Tesslor radio is truly hand crafted. They
are made by people who hope they become as prized a possession as the beautiful wood
radios of the past. In a world where consumers know little about the people who make the
things they use, we share this story of Zeng and his vision to produce something unique
and beautiful. We hope you enjoy your Tesslor radio as much as the people whose passion
brought these products to life.
