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

[blu_fuz]

This stereo/boombox/radio has been in our office forever. I'm talking 30+ years almost or maybe longer.

This boomer doesn't have tape decks, no battery storage, but looks really cool.

What is is? What is it worth? Is it cool? How old is it? Made in Germany..... Tell me anything you know about it.

Just thought I would share the pics with you because I finally had my camera at work.

I like'm.
Yes is worth, just see on epay. [ebay]http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemnext&item=220485249883.html[/ebay]

If you can, go get that old beauty . Trade for something recent.

Looks like it is from 1968 based off some info I found online. There was also a "black" version that had black speaker grills instead of the wood.

I think this stereo was the original owners of this business. Their son(my boss) now runs the place and is a cool guy. I bet every secretary from 1970+ has used this. Lots of memories for sure. I don't think I could get it from him.

How much did that Grundig sell for in USD? I don't know the conversions.... The listing said 66,0. Is that euros?

Just type the item # into ebay 220485249883

66,00 Eur = about $97 USD

Not worth selling for that price

What do you say OSS...., your words sounding like this "I'm gona mod it my JVC M-70 with CD charger for 5 CD and with record player, and... etc"

This radio it's fantastic and worth it just like you see it, in original, without any change.

Agree with toni.
Sorry, please no modification.
This is an pretty rare one.
One of the first full transistor portable units from GRUNDIG.
And you see the DIN connection at the back.
So you can connect it easily with other supplys without modification!

i offer a mint kaboom one of the ones that can read mp3 cds with the remote and strap for trade
seriously i would love to have that stereo concert boy so much you could not even imagine how much.

 

[Retro Addict]

OMG, I've been looking for a Satellit 2100 for a while, but now the box you have!! That radio is amazing, especially being a stereo. Looks really big too. I love it! I so wish I could buy it from you!!

 

[bill]

i love the old grundigs too

 

[blu_fuz]

Sorry guys, if this was my box I would probably trade it. It was my bosses dads and has been at our work since they got it. It will forever be a part of this place.

 

[bill]

no worries man beacause if i owned it there would be absolutely no way i would sell it. i mean i was offered over six hundred bucks for the radio in the picture i posted here and refused the offer.
some stuff is just not for sale.

Very nice radio,thanks for posting the pix,looks like a true survivior.
Never have to replace the belts,heads or motor on that one.

 

[blu_fuz]

And look at this, now about 9 years later they are doing some reno project in the front office and no one wants this old Grundig. They presented it to me as a FREEBIE!

"You like this old stuff, right?!" Yah, DUH! LOL

 

[Fatdog]

NIIICCEEEE!
