    I purchased the same radio in Munich Germany and early 1970 when I was station with US Army. I also purchased the companion cassette player that would hook up with that radio. Great radio for sure. I was transferred to Vietnam, and I took the radio with me. When my tour was up, I took it to the post office right behind my hooch and sent it home to my home address in Ohio. Unfortunately, I believe the guys in the post office knew what I was sending, and it disappeared. I claimed on the postal insurance, but sure wish I had the radio instead of the money L O L. I did purchase another one of these maybe five years ago on eBay which is a bit different than the one you have in your video. It works well but now it bounces a lot and I believe it needs some caps replaced. Would sure love to get it fixed. Thanks for the video brought back memories.

    Wow, that sounds great even on camera. I bet it's phenomenal in person.

    As you can see on the icon near the button - it is the button for engaging/disengaging the tweeters. Grundig made lots of high end radios with disengageable tweeters (satellit series had the same speakers inside as this one). Some other German manufacturers of the era did as well (I have a SABA transeuropa which has the switch on the back)

    Purely analogue radio tuning is such a nice and visceral feeling. It's genuinely sad how many channels we've lost from the LW and AM spectrum. Here in Iceland we still broadcast one LW channel on two different masts, but we have no AM channels anymore, but with a good antenna, some can be picked up from the Continent... That Grundig is a good looker, a portable low-power receiver, basically. I think it says a lot about European wealth, or lack thereof in the 60s and 70s and the compromises we had to make to have a home stereo.

    I am so lucky to own a couple of them working perfectly.

    A few years back I found one in the trash and it worked but performed very poorly. I took it apart before I really had any experience with electronics and threw the guts out, keeping the case and speakers thinking I would never figure it out. Today, I'm confident I would be able to fix it and forever regret throwing the innards away.

    Perhaps not the most sensitive tuner but it tunes pretty good. Amazing transistor goodness of a bygone era.
    And before someone goes: aarrgh it's current, modern era. Do we have transistor radios anymore? No... well... there are still transistors inside but they're not called that way... and they're probably inside an Integrated Circuit... a CHIP! And they sound (and tune) HORRIBLY!

    Next step: your own home AM and FM stations?

      I actually do have an AM transmitter, but it's not set up right now. Very useful to have if you're into old radios that are AM only.
