Grundig
Table Model AM/FM/SW radio.
This radio was bought by a veteran at a PX in Germany, and still has
its original dust cover. The emblem says "Grundig Zauberklang" which
means "Magic Tone". Front

emblem. Late
1950's Grundig Radio/Phono. This unit is a prime example
of advanced German technology. Performance is far superior to most
American consoles of this time period. It has FM, AM, and Shortwave.
There is a single tuning knob, but it is mechanically switched between
the AM and FM tuners so that each can be tuned individually. There are
two tweeters in the top sides and a woofer in the bottom. The woofer
was re-foamed by cutting a piece of foam to the appropriate size and
cementing it in place (a commercial woofer rebuild kit was not
available for this size). All new capacitors were installed in the
radio chassis. The turntable is a Perpetuum-Ebner "Rex" model and it
needed new belts to operate the 33 and 45 speeds. The turntable
headshell connectors were also cleaned. This is a non-stereo compatible
stylus and can be used only on monaural records, but does give very
good performance from them. Photos:Front
