    As someone who also restores vintage gear, it is an HONOR to work on something like this. Very, very rare!!! Most stuff I get is pretty clapped out and of course I will be asked to perform a miracle, but the one in a million piece, I'll gladly go way beyond to make it absolutely PERFECT! What a treat!!

      I have the same experience. There is a challenge to bringing back to life something that’s completely knackered, but this one was pure joy to work on.

    Amazing condition. I had to pay a fortune for my SSB unit on eBay, but it does work well and like you I made my own before finding one.

    • @electronicsoldandnew

      Yes, those units are really expensive. They sometimes cost more than the entire radio.

    Comparto la emoción que me transmites. Tengo el modelo 2100 que es todo negro, funciona, pero al canal de FI de AM sólo le llegan 3 V ! Tal vez una R que se fué de su valor o un electrolítico que está derivando a masa pueden ser la causa. Tengo bien guardados en mi PC todos tus videos anteriores de este modelo. Muy agradecido.

    What a privilege for us to see this. It’s like when you going around an ancient ruined castle or similar and part of one wishes it could be rebuilt exactly how it would have been. This radio is like this.

    Amazing you can still get a huge amount of SW broadcast stations over by Europe and Asia! In the states we don't get much beyond time stations and amateur radio. We might get a couple religious shortwave broadcasters in the eastern US but I live in Utah, nothing makes it here. Over in the Europe seems like people get SW with just groundwave propagation, like MW!! They don't even need atmospheric skip, since everything is so close together there. And the sheer number of broadcasters is astonishing. It sounded like he was tuning through the MW band rather than SW!! Amazing! We get static here, if one happens to enjoy static.

    • @electronicsoldandnew
      @electronicsoldandnew  Рік тому

      Yes, if you listen to short wave over here, you wonder what people are talking about when they say that the stations are dying out. As you say, we are in close proximity to a lot of the Asian countries that do reach their emigrant populations using shortwave.

    That thing is beautiful !!
    I wish they still made lusty things like that, there's so little beautifully designed devices anymore..
    I have a theory about why that thing survived like it did and my theory goes as follows,,, that FM switch broke when it was new and it never got repaired,, it got returned
    and/or just sat undisturbed somewhere for decades,,, that's my theory..

    Thank you very much for this video. I still have a Grundig C6000 which I inherited from my father. He told me once that back in the 70s in the radio shop he had to choose between the C6000 and a Satellit 2000 (2100?). He chose the C6000 because it had a very desirable feature which was the cassette recorder. With hindsight, I think he regretted it a little and would have preferred the Satellit instead. Thanks again for your very nice video, I was thinking about what it would have been like if Rudi had bought the Satellit :-) .

    Manuell, your BFO may not be an original SSB kit, but you can use it on most AM shortwave receivers not to mention having generated an informative video.

      Absolutely. The main feature of the radio is that it picks up the entire shortwave band very well.

    Why didn't they use a MC1496 in the SSB Adapter as a MC1496 demodulates SSB but would need a few extra components i.e the oscillator connection to certain pins on the chip.

    Such a shame that the Grundig brand doesn’t exist anymore, nor does Philips (except for their medical branch), Nordmende, Saba, Loewe, and more jewels to the crown of the German electronical industry. Btw the dial cord of my Satellite 2001 is stuck, you don’t happen to know a colleague in Belgium who can repair it?
