Grundig Majestic 8058
#1

This was gifted upon me 2-1/2 years ago by the late wife of a late friend.

It is a 1950-s multi-band radio with a phonograph.
It hasn't been working for likely at least last 20 years. Maybe more.

Today it's number came up.
Very dirty and dusty inside. Nutshells....likely mice. Or some other rodents.
The speakers are good, the broadband one wrapped in cloth like it always is in German jobs.

I took the chassis out after taking the turntable out.
It is pretty easy.

Here are some views:

   

   

   

   

   

The mat is in the real bad shape, and feels like rock, all hardened up. Will need a new one.

I vacuumed the cabinet.
Now have to vac the chassis, clean it, test the tubes.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
