What the is this BBX? Grundig...... Is it even a BBX?

[Northerner]

That’s pretty cool

 

[JustCruisin]

Awesome!

 

[T-STER]

Now that's all cool radio for free! They made them so well back then, beauty

 

[blu_fuz]

Wait a dog gone minute!!!!!



Popped the back off and see it does take batteries! Portable beauty, booya!

 

[MyOhMy]

I love those types of radios, given the chance I would snap one up. It's a wonder how they saw the future of technology with this super-dooper, Space Age, top of the range, futuristic, geeky radio.

 

[Superduper]

Better than any boombox.

 

[blu_fuz]

It's art. I love it.

Flip that ish on Ebay.....People pay hundreds for those Grundigs

 

[floyd]

Those high power transistors in the amp section are no joke , those are used in high end equipment. That thing is a serious piece of work.

For now she will find a spot in the boom room.

Big elliptical speakers too, many 70's decent wirelesses had these driven by decent output stages & sounded too good tbh!! Those days are gone 🤢🤢🤢

 

[blu_fuz]

Do any of you know about fm signal fade? When I power it on, fm signal is good for about 5 seconds and goes away. If I pop back and forth to another radio band and stop on fm, signal is strong again for 5 seconds and fades away again.....

Sounds like the band selector switches need to be cleaned. I notice all my VZ 2000 with the dirty band selector switches the tuner Fades out.

 

[caution]

Agreed Floyd, it's 50 years old, probably needs some Deoxit
Looks so good, hang onto that sucker!

 

[Reli]

Either that, or one of the circuitry components is fluctuating as it warms up.

Clearing out some cabinets at work and look what we found.

Original receipt (not shown) and all the original paperwork from the Grundig!

 

[Fatdog]

Whoa! How cool is that!

 

[Transistorized]

Now that is simply awesome! A schematic as well. You're all set!

Crisp white pages even! Nice that they were shielded from UV over the years. Willing to bet you have the most pristine paper work in the world.

 

[blu_fuz]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets excited over some paperwork, LOL.

I have not seen OG paperwork sets for a Grundig boombox, so this really is cool to me.


I just wish the radio worked

 

[Hisrudeness]

Great looking think.
Do we know when this is from? Late 60s early 70s?
