Grudig Radio Model 5490 Information needed.
Posted: 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
