Grundig 5008

Those are as much as tube radios as any Philco.
You will likely encounter a Selenium penal-box type rectifier. It might be still good.
Other than the dial pointer being this belt-pulley concoction.....nothing special.

And (good news) - no caps to re-stuff. And (likely) the only ones needing replacements could be the lytics (I would check the paper caps in case they did go bad but likely not, those are newer types. But even if they are). Lots of caps will be molded mica types, possibly some oil.....those are good.

And them Grundigs sound very good for their table size...sometimes surprisingly good.

Pots will be scratchy, both tone control and volume. Keys switching bands might need lubrication, plus they often crack.
Depending on which eye tube they use...vertical miniature type or old 6E5 style....you might have to purchase that one.


Unless it was abused I do not see a huge project.
