Grudig Radio Model 5490 Information needed.

by hitchhiker » Thu Jun 01, 2006 8:14 am

I just bought a Grundig 5490 large tube-type radio which will need some work to restore, but is basically in good condition. I need to find manuals, schematics, tube lists, etc for this radio.

The tuning indicators work for FM, but the three other bands do not move when I turn the right hand dial.

The case is essentially flawless.

The sound plays without any static, but is weak.

The left combination knob rings just spin and I do not perceive any stereo adjustment when moving that adjustment.

Any helpful information you can send my way would be very much appreciated.

I am very happy to add this radio to my collection. It and my Grundig 5088 will occupy a proud display position in my den!

Do you know anyone in California who restores the electronics in these radios?

Thanks and Best Regards,

David
