- Pink Floyd - Brick in the wall ; Playing on my newly restored Grundig Console model SO 132 and Built in 1959. Nothing today can compare to the sound of this stereo; and unfortunately this video does not capture its capability. I will try to get some more 70's and 80's albums uploaded in the near future.

Loved seeing this! I brought one home from Germany and wish to h.... I still had it! Nothing around today can. Come close.
.
just beautiful, way better than those made in china pods of today. this is something that feals real it has almost emotions.
Never ever throw it away. I am still crying that my parents trowed away alot of vintage stuff I wanted to bring in my home
Exciting. Natural wooden sound ! plus valves.
I have been collecting records since I was 8 and I have been restoring antique audio components since I was 13; the two go hand in hand. The cabinet needed to be refinished, the chassis cleaned and recapped. I did all the work myself except for the volume control which Mark Oppat (Old Radio Parts) Rebuild.
We had HMV stereo master. That was the source of our music from 1966 to 1998. Then we switch to Rega P5. Still miss that one..
Good day
Very nice cabinet cond!
I had to toss a couple of these types out when I moved, I kinda wish I had more space!
I did keep my Grundig table top stereo.
Virtually the same radio/amp, but the separate component version. My console had a dried out changer,rubber was all cracked..nobody wanted it..
Beautiful piece to remember it always.
that console looks like a dream! oh, i must get one of those....:) thanks for sharing. fantastic.
How vinyl was meant to be heard. Listen at that warmth.
My dad had this particular old Grundig console one back in the old days until around 1968 when solid state systems came on the market he took out the receiver and the record player and installed a Kenwood receiver and a Dual turntable in this cabinet, dont ask me why but he did.
I think you mean the pieces separate from the record changer itself. The piece on the back of the changer cabinet is a holder for a 45 adapter and the white cylinder at the edge of the cabinet is a 15W cabinet light I added which turns on and off when the lid is opened and closed. I don't unfortunately have a set of stereo mate speakers, but the console sounds just fine without them.
Scott Radio repair in Binghamton NY . These guys are the best. Also , bit expensive!!!!!!!!!!!
I have over 100 grundig units of this vintage. I have restored the best ones. See my KS460 console.
The main problems are:
1) Faulty Bridge Rectifier. The cause low voltages. Easy to fx if you know how. Best left to a tech.
2) Faulty Paper Capacitors. I replace ALL in any set.
3) Faulty Resistors causing distortion. Just measure every voltage in the set and fix where faults found
4) Have not found a faulty tube, however they do go weak. Find someone with a Valve Tester to check.
I agree that the external speakers seem unnecessary. The woman told me that the kids would blast it and you could hear it next door. They don't seem to have all of the wiring. The AM and FM work well with a slight "pop" in the right speaker. I tried the turntable and it sounded fine when it touched the record but it promptly removed itself and repeated this several times. Other than a chevron shaped badge on the front right side, I'm pretty sure that mine is the same model.
beautiful console! i have a 1957 mono grundig with a removable headshell and
magnetic cartridge.the mounting bracket is broken though and doesnt hold the
cartridge. any ideas on where to locate a spare bracket? any help is apreciated!!
This is only a rough guess as many of the parts I used were from my own stock; But I would say it could cost around$40 depending on where you buy your caps. I should also note I used the wax case of the old caps to cover to new ones for authenticity .
@OBSysteme Does it power on? if yes find out where the tubes are located and find which tubes arnt lighting up or if they are all lighting up just wiggle each one of them, I had a tube in mine when i got it didn't light up so i didn't have sound I wiggled it and now it works great.
just recently got this exact stereo,it sounds awsome,the original cartridge was dead
though,it was ronette.i used a more modern ceramic but the mount on the original
was odd,no screws!so i had to glue it in.what cart do you have in this one?
I literally just got one of these in as new condition I mean it is like the day it came off the showroom floor! I can't figure out what it's worth and fortunately I can't keep I don't have anywhere to put it but when I look for the price on what they're worth I get drastically varying results I'd appreciate any help
Hi. I have recently acquired this very version of the Grundig and I am curious as to how you went about the restoration. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
Do you have any advice on finding the schematic? Thank you so much for all of your help and patience.
I just picked up the same console! I can’t seem to figure out how to turn the dial Past one on the record playing part. Any advice?
Ainda são fabricadas ?
great console
did you restore it yourself? what had to be done?
i wish i was able to do the electrical stuff but im clueless!
a couple of mine need new caps but it costs a ton to have
done professionally IF you can even find someone to do it
I would also recommend that you refrain from playing any records that you would not want damaged until you check that the cartridge is fine. You will deff. need to replace the needle, I would say .The 8T Sonotone needles are pretty easy to find; but the 8T cart. are not so easy. I lucked out on 3 for $8 on ebay a while back in their original pkg. Hopefully your cart. is fine, finding a replacement is hard. Any ceramic cart will work but the problem is the 8T had flat connectors and others round
I just found a console like this one... does yours have an open back or is it completely enclosed?
I have the luxury of repairing them myself and I buy all my parts online....I really couldn't judge how much it would cost to restore these consoles, it depends on the extent of the repairs.
Hey dude, ive been given a grundig almost exactly the same as your one only lighter in colour, it looks like it came out of the shop last week!!!! it looks brand new! any idea what its worth??
So nice.
recently have come across a similar Grundig Majestic console. Currently the only thing that actually works are the lights. I would love to refurbish it and get it to be working again but am not sure what the requirements are and the cost associated with it. The rest of the condition is pretty good. Do you think you can help me understand what I’m looking at. and what it could cost to refurbish? What was your investment? Thanks
For what you are saying is the condition of your Grundig console,a complete restoration should be around three to four hundred without any cabinet work or major parts like transformers or speakers.
@@jeffreyhaynes5774 Guys I just got one of these, with the wood cabinet in real good condition. do you know what is value? Model is Grundig Majestic M72 PX
I just electrically restored a Grundig SO 2U. I believe it has the same record changer as your unit, and I am having issues with it turning 6% fast. I believe someone may have replaced the spindle with one from an incompatible unit. Three questions: 1) Do you know the model of the changer? 2)Are you in North America or somewhere with 60hz power supply (as opposed to 50hz in Europe) 3)If so, could you possibly measure the diameter of the speed spindle with a pair of reliable calipers?
I'm really green in this area. Are the round white plastic pieces to the left of the turntable for the changer function? The 86 year old woman I bought it from had misplaced the manual and bill of sale some time last year. Also, did yours have external speakers?
Hi There, I got a JVC Nivico Perfect Stereo unit that has a 4-Track Stereophonic tape recorder, 4TR-99U and a 4TR-99UM. The original instructions can be found inside. The unit has 10 Tubes and 7 Diode to power the 2 x 8" Woofers, and 2 x 3.5" Tweeters. Do you know anything about these things?
I have a '59 Philips that looks very, very similar to this.
buena
How much did the recapping cost you? I'm about to pick up the same radio and I've never done any work on a radio before.
Do you have any advice for finding a person who repairs these? I've been looking for someone to restore mine for over a year with no luck . . .
My Grandpa handed down a Grundic Majestic almost identical to yours - 'cept the tuner section faced up and the wood trim facing the turntable continued all the way across. Don't know if his was older than yours - probably.
where do you live? i have a nice grundig console that needs work... someone replaced the turntable and i'd like to put an original record changer in it... hope you get back to me!
Please .. Why the magic green eye not working !
It does work actually, but it is only lit when a radio key is pressed. It does not light while the record player is in use.
@@adpretty thanks for replying to my question after 15 years 😁
That looks like a Kuba Komet model
Well what needs to be fixed with your record player Kimberlaina? i can point you to some people or help you fix yours?
@OBSysteme
im not an expert on tube electronic (but i have used and repaird some) but from what i have been telld its generely the tubes thats bad most old units from the 50s and early 60s needs new some capasitors but the rest of the electronics are almost allways fine.
I have a copy of the schematic that I could scan and email to you. Im leaving today for a couple of weeks, but I can send it to you when I get back
Hi! Replying to a 9 year old comment here, but what the heck :) I am about to restore one of these and can't find a schematic anywhere. You don't happen to have that scan left?
@@umciggy Hey! any luck with this? Planning on restoring mine.
Aditya Dutt nope :(
do NOT use ebay as a guide with these!!! almost every estate liquidator thinks these are worth stupid crazy money..they aren't an exc. cond. minimal issue unit should be 300 or less if you HAVE to have one model for whatever reason MAYBE 400 and I'm being EXTREMELY generous most sell between 50 and 175 (now for a real laugh? check ebay especially the BIN prices lol) so it's easy to make a pricing mistake but those jerks post repost and post again the same console for the same money..why?

How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat? Lol!
