    Hello Eric
    Grundig is/was a premium Radio Brand, manufactured in West Germany. In looks and component-wise, it has a very similar look to my AEG/Telefunken model radios. It shared a lot of things in common, such as components, tube line-ups. I am not certain what year it was, early eighties, I think, that Grundig took over AEG/Telefunken. At one time Grundig was partially owned by the Philips Corp. of the Netherlands. My AEG, Banjo is one of my favorite radio sets, and at the present time I am in the process of restoring it. However, during WWII, AEG used forced labor in the production of their Radios and Appliances. which still leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many.

    As to the value of your Radio, as to all Vintage Radios, that is question which has a broad range of answers, See on the main page of this CVRS Site, the LINK entitled. “What’s my old radio worth”

    Regards

    Hi Eric, I have several German radios (Saba, Grundig and Telefunken etc) and have rarely paid more than $50 dollars for them as they are quite common and usually in good cosmetic condition. I suppose it may be regional and more common in some provinces than others, but they don’t seem to be sought after the same way as other radios are as they tend to be bulky and take up a lot of space.

    That being said, there are collectors that might be interested in it, but you won’t be retiring early unless it’s a rare example. Generally, they’re a better sounding radio than most when restored.
