Green, Cream, Burgundy and Brass.  That’s the design scheme of this handsome, little Grundig AM/FM radio.  Made in Germany back in 1959 but fully restored in 2024 by me, Doctorvoltz, a very experienced German radio restorer.

First, it was recapped, having all out of spec capacitors and resistors replaced as well as weak tubes replaced, new heavy-duty 1N4007 silicon diode to replace the existing selenium diode and all switches, contacts and tube sockets cleaned.  In addition, all questionable wiring was replaced as needed, the dial string was replaced with a new ultra-tough string and the pilot light was replaced as well with a brighter LED version of the proper 3K color temperature.

The green and cream plastic cabinet has been polished out until it gleams with only minor imperfections here and there in the plastic. The brass logo and knob inserts have also been polished back to their original shine, and the pushbutton markings have been repainted and the knobs ultrasonically cleaned.

As you can see from the pictures, the radio presents remarkably well from all angles.  I have supplied several sharp photos so please inspect carefully before you bid.  Nibbler, the radio cat, is also pictured next to the radio so you can get an idea of scale.

The radio plays beautifully with that warm tube  tone that these old German radios are famous for through a 6”x 4” oval speaker. .  In addition, the inner knob on the volume side is a variable tone control for adjusting bass and treble.  Please note, this radio has the full, American 108MHZ FM band, unlike many of the German market models on eBay that only tune up to 100MHZ.

In order to enjoy a wider variety of programming than is currently available on radio, I have made a small, unobtrusive modification so that you can play your Bluetooth receiver, iPod, phone, or portable CD player through it simply by plugging the supplied cable into the headphone jack of your device and the other end into the input jack at the back of the radio.

Unlike many “iPod” mods, this one is electrically isolated from the radio circuitry via matching transformer to guard against stray voltage spikes that could potentially damage your devices.  It also is impedence matched to play your device at a similar volume level as the radio positions.

You can see and hear it play, learn more about it, plus see the iPod function being demonstrated at this Youtube link:

Or simply Google Youtube doctorvoltz to see this and many of my past radio restorations. 

This is a smaller sized German radio measuring 13” wide x 8” tall x 7” deep and shipping weight is about 13 pounds. 

At the conclusion of the auction, this smart-looking little German will be very carefully packed with plenty of bubble wrap and packing peanuts in a heavy duty box and shipped promptly via FEDEX Ground.   So thanks for looking and good luck!

Please remember, although this radio has been restored to its original specs, it is still a vintage radio that employs vintage technology.  At the time it was manufactured it was not subject to the tremendous amount of RF interference that is generated today from computers, flat screen TVs, high-speed cable modems, modern lighting devices, etc. Careful placement of the radio may be necessary to minimize audio interference
