Interesting GRUNDIG mono

[ViennaSound]

Got at last flea a GRUNDIG mono in good condition.
First i won´t take it, but the price was dumpable and so it came with me...

First look - nothing special

But there are some interesting details.

Look at the 2 meters.
One is for tuning, the other one a scale for the mechanical station presets.

Nice big mic:

The scaleillumination is only activated, when pressed the manual tuning button.

It eats chrome tapes

a 120min mechanical timer! :sin:
And there must be 2 speakers inside.
Playing at 1, sound is weak
Switching to both, wooow, amazing strong

vol, bass, treble

funny, the button discription is at the pullout-grip

Very strange:
Play, stop , rec goes over buttons
FF + rew over a slider!
And the pause button:
If you want to fix it, you must push it and slide backwards.
For release pull it towards and loose it

a few buttons...

station presets :sin:

Waveband switches

The tuning know owns a flip out handle

massive backside

station presets

Manual switch for batt/AC
The plexiglass button owns a eye!
When pushing it, a batt.symbol appears

cable storage

Batteriecompartment with own battery holder!

But this strange mono rules!
The sound is very strong, when both speakers activated!

Thanks for watching.

Cool find Roman. That Gundig has some kick ass features. I really like the bass and treb pics on the knobs.
You are the master of finding these rare ones, man. Congrats!

I had a stereo version before. Very nice boombox. That tuning meter is there so you can see where the presets are tuned to. Otherwise, you would be tuning blind. Think of it as a an analog frequency counter.

I own a pretty old GRUNDIG homestereo receiver.
It also works that way!

As usual, a really unique and wonderful find! The switchable two-speaker feature is very interesting. Glad to hear it sounds strong with both speakers on.

Of course, the real reason it's so strong is that the volume and tone controls go all the way to 12! That's 2 louder than every other boombox! (Joke stolen from "This Is Spinal Tap.")

Another quality find Roman, Congrats.
That's not the usual cheap Mono, we can see some quality in that model.
