I have a 1959 Grundig Majestic counsel that was my Grand mothers that I have to get up and running and you gave me some good ideas. Thanks for the video!
I loved watching these restorations! My father was a radio mechanic, starting in the 1940s and working through the 1960s with early IBM computers. Eventually silicon chips and transistors took over and he went on to other things, but he always had a few old radios around to tinker with. You brought back a lot of happy memories for me, thank you :)
Valve technology never really went away, Certainly valve amplifiers and pre-amplifiers are still popular, as some audiophiles swear it gives a more analogue and warmer sound. It's always had a market in that respect. Also, older radio's like this have an attraction to the growing group of people, who like all things, "retro" , call it nostalgia I guess.🤷♂
Beautiful restoration job you did on the old radio and electric guitar. They look much better than before, and they sound really good after you restored them. Excellent work on both of them.

Wow! I was impressed with the Grundig but I really didn't think you'd be able to do anything with the Philips. It gives me some hope for my (almost) basket case Emud T7. I have to say, I winced when you picked up that '92 Fender Strat. That was a guitar in need of some serious loving. The result was great! Clearly, you enjoy a challenge!😉
He's checking the old wire wound resistors and capacitors to see if they've degraded. Older Capacitors especially are prone to swelling/leaking over time, and the older wire wound resistors can drift out of tolerance due to expanding and contracting due to heat, through power cycling.
I've got a similar one, a Grundig 5088, found 1985 in the trash (!). It worked untill the early 2000th, now some tube have to be changed I guess. It had actually a beautyful sound.
I will never understand the practice of smearing mud on items. Then you put leaves inside. There is no water damage or indication it was outside. Very dishonest and does not add anything to the restoration. Honesty is more important than click bait.
14:38 On the plate with all the different radio stations you will see 2 on there that are actually American radio stations, AFN-Stuttgt and AFN-Munchen. In Germany back in the 70's my next door neighbor was a dj for the Munchen station.
Btw -That old wirewound resistor you replaced,I think it looked like a 10w and you replaced it with a 5w resistor. ,And I would have replaced ALL the capacitors.
Por si alguien se ha dado cuenta, el Grundig tenía papel de aluminio pegado al techo y laterales, resulta que eso era la antena, si no se le ha puesto necesita una antena exterior que se puede conectar a una toma trasera y seguro tenía también una toma de amplificador, que creo es la que ha usado para conectar al teléfono
It was a great year 1958. The year I was born. This is the Radio (Grundig) what I have seen when I was kid 2 years age in the year of 1960. My Dad take me to our neighbor and I heard noise from the box. I asked my Father. Father I heard alot of people talking inside. Who they are. Are they small people leave inside or what. My Dad answer. Yes my Son. They are small people inside. I am still wandering. How small they are. Is that as high as gap between finger point and thumb. My Dad answer again. Yes my Son. You are right. After that, I can not imagine at that time. The channel RRI (Radio Republik Indonesia) which is similar to British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
12:14 no nie kolego. Taki sprzęt, dla bezpieczeństwa jego samego, włączamy przez żarówkę (szeregowo). Musi zaświecić i przygasnąć, ale gdy świeci non stop, to mamy gdzieś zwarcie. Nie wiesz o tym?
I haven't seen other previous radios get revamped/recalled or resurrected. I wish to see old-timer dual tape cassette players het revamped/recalled or resurrected at once. 🙏 😫 😪 😢 😢 😕 😤 🙏
Let's take it at heart that it's a valid restoration. It was not a high quality restoration. For the radio, I saw no sanding of the frame, no cleaning of the circuit board, varnishing without protecting the black interior with tape, and cleaning up the clear plastic radio markers. Those steps should be done or at least shown on the video.
very strange ! I have restored more then 300 Radios from the 20s to the 60s, and I never used a metall brush to clean some plastic parts (knobs) ! Also the paint is rubbish ! And so many other things have not been done well ! Sorry to say that !
он его не сделал.Там последовательный накал,но потерю эмиссии никто не отменял.Приема-нет. А с Филипсом-вообще наибалово.Новоляп какой-то.Даже ткань лень поискать.
I was born in 1950. Had been working/repairing grundig and similar radio sets while studying my engineering. Good old days.
fantastic radio
This was my grail when I was a kid. Nice to see this in its restored form.
I have a 1959 Grundig Majestic counsel that was my Grand mothers that I have to get up and running and you gave me some good ideas. Thanks for the video!
私も同じような修理をしましたが、これはとても丁寧な仕事で良いですね！
que serviço maravilhoso , meus parabéns voce é um otimo profissional ...
Beautiful restoration!!
I had one of those from my grandparents when I was 12 or so . Loved it .
Back in the days thinga lasted for ages, and now ? 😢
I loved watching these restorations!

Немецкое качество! Что говорить что грюндик, что телефункен на высоте. Работа на высоте. Молодца! Картина маслом. 📢💯👍❗
You are a master of multiple medias and disciplines. Your skills produced an outstanding transforestoration! Well done sir!! The Old Army Scout…
Well I enjoyed it, ...not sure about that pot-pourri though..😁
Those types of things are cool to restore because plenty of different and interesting techniques are used during restoration
Beautiful restoration job you did on the old radio and electric guitar. They look much better than before, and they sound really good after you restored them. Excellent work on both of them.
Nice work!
Спасибо 👍
Грюндик - отличная техника. Жалко теперь её нет😢
Super Arbeitsqualität, tolle Videos und netter Humor.
Really love your work!

Grundig had the first Active stereo speaker I'd seen, always looking for something interesting they might have.
We used to have the same radio when I was a child and still around somewhere.

Love the section "checking for performance" LOL

Spectacular !!
Much hardworking, nice restoration, from India
This is one of the most interesting and captivating restoration videos I've seen in a long while. Nice work. Excellent editing and camera work, too.
Because it´s fake? OMG.
I've got a similar one, a Grundig 5088, found 1985 in the trash (!). It worked untill the early 2000th, now some tube have to be changed I guess. It had actually a beautyful sound.
It's not usually tubes, but capacitors that go short circuit,

Congratulations!!! Wonderful work. You have a big knowledge about radios.
"KLICK, FUMP....sssssSSSSCRRRRRRRR!" The Sound of my childhood! 😄
Beautiful watching a master at work! Thank you!
Muito bom tanto o rádio quanto a guitarra chikdez
Красавец приемник!
What a handsome receiver!
Distinctive and wonderful work, good luck and success, my dear
I will never understand the practice of smearing mud on items. Then you put leaves inside. There is no water damage or indication it was outside. Very dishonest and does not add anything to the restoration. Honesty is more important than click bait.
I stopped the video at the leaves, I call BS! go back and tell the algorithm NOOOOOOO!
Fraudulent 😠
Thanks for this information.
@@tallyankeegal same here!
@@tallyankeegalyup the green leaves and smeared dirt killed it for me
That’s awesome. Use new LEDs and box film caps.
Three hands. Nice technique :D
Incorrect way of soldering, you do not spread the tin on the tip of the soldering iron and then put it on the component (resistor)
14:38 On the plate with all the different radio stations you will see 2 on there that are actually American radio stations, AFN-Stuttgt and AFN-Munchen. In Germany back in the 70's my next door neighbor was a dj for the Munchen station.
Wow, the radio turned into a guitar...
Today, a Grundig. Tomorrow: A Hallicrafters!
Mantap sekali kerja bagus dan vidio yg bagus.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
Beautiful Restoration!!!
Btw -That old wirewound resistor you replaced,I think it looked like a 10w and you replaced it with a 5w resistor. ,And I would have replaced ALL the capacitors.
Stunning!!!!
Respect 👍👍👍
Great timing on the restoration. I have three waiting.
Buenas noches exelente está restauración.
It is always interesting to watch how the hands of a real master give life to old things. It's magic !
Hello from Russia!
Amazing job well done ❤
Such a great restoration. You did it well. 👏👏
GREAT WORK!!
Why Leaves??
Because of keeping in a back yard for decades.
A fraudster 😠
Bs@@PatrickKrolickoff
@@PatrickKrolickoff No. Fake.
Because he ran out of sticks and mud.
missing criteria about what electric element to check, here a resistor, there a capacitor ....
Impressive video editing
My grandfather have this radio.
why did you stuff leaves there?😁
I te polskie klucze YATO restoracja zajebista mega mi się podoba te radio to jakaś licencja z unitry
PS sorki nie znam angielskiego 😜
Restaurado rádio grundig 2088 📻😉
Bravooo.
Nice job
intentionally smearing mud and putting leaves on the inside.
A well-known procedure used by some Asian "restorers" who, by pure happenstance, find stuff in the woods or by the roadside 😂.
Espectacular, así de sencillo
Good jobs ❤👍💚
Verygood👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
Awesome job
great refurb well done
Wow this music jumps-scarred me :D
Keeping it classic 🤘
Very nice job bro thanks I'm smashing my like botton Texas style yahoooooooooo katakaboooooooooooooooom
I am guessing it is mostly capacitors that fail just due to age. Leaks? leaves inside deteriorate?
well done

you wiped mud on the front and stuffed leaves inside, very fake looking
I love collecting these old radios but hate it after the shipper does not properly pack it and glass comes in broken.
I had this with an early 1960s Phillips set from the Netherlands...glass broke in 200 pieces...no recourse
It was a great year 1958.
The year I was born.
This is the Radio (Grundig) what I have seen when I was kid 2 years age in the year of 1960.
My Dad take me to our neighbor and I heard noise from the box.

Wibeo zer gut!!!
Вон дантист - надомник Рудик, у его приёмник Грундик, он его ночами крутить - ловить контра ФРГ )))
Certainly not a Fender guitar, this one is made from plywood! Surprised there weren't leaves in the guitar as well 🌿😂
Cuando vivía en Kiel compré un radio, más moderno de ésa marca y que bueno, en la actualidad no sé si exista, de Venezuela salud😢
The original might have had lacquer paint, stain and clear (not acrylic). Lot of parts!
Can you repair Telerod Radio

I don’t understand the leaves.
Or the smeared on mud
O serviço é bão só moita enrolação
the grill really got clean. THose are hard to do
Fallout Vibes ❤
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where do you get the guns that you restore in other videos
This is fake! Don't fake it. If it's broke fix it!! We'll still watch. It's a cool radio
เห็นทำแล้ว😢😮😢😢👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
