What an amazing bit of history. Thank you Stefan for telling us Peggie's story and for bringing it back to life while showing us the process. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Regards, David
Great vid. I still have my Red Motorola X14R that I got in 1962. I also replaced the E Caps. Still works pretty good even with those old Ge transistors.
Ich finde es sehr nett von dir das du Peggie wieder auf die Beine gebracht hast. Sie hat zwar etwas morsche Knochen aber sie kommt doch noch voran😉 Danke für´s Video Stefan 👍👍
well, it cost a quarter of the salary of an engineer in those days, but look at it, 60 years later is still working with the original semiconductors and 90% of old parts. This was a nice repair and comparison video.
I remember when my grandmother blasted through all her savings and bought a color TV in 1972 for the olympics. It cost 2,500DM back then. The average salary in Germany was way under 1000 marks then. My grandmother was the queen of the whole block, though. She was the only household with a color TV in the whole area for years. Her living room was packed full of people from the neighborhood sometimes when an important soccer match was on. I still have this Telefunken TV. I miraculously came across a brand new CRT at a ham rally in the 1990s. It works absolutely perfectly. It still has the old school "Farbendstufen" with PCL82 tubes.

It has the same problems as a 60 years old human ... hi.
What a lovely radio, i too hold a fondness to am radio and also fm anf use fm over dab in the car if i can
Yes. like a time capsule
I wonder how the Grundig will play when it is 60 years old. Very unique bias on the Peggie. Perhaps I'll find one on Ebay someday. 73 OM
Lifetime of the Grundig? Too much plastic in there - will get brittle earlier
The strange audio biasing was referred to as "sliding bias" .
Thanks, Yes!
Dobra praca :)
dziękuję
Those prices always amaze me. Some of the top end tube radios like SABA cost a fortune in those days.
I think in those days such radios were for representation (swagger)... This little radio was for a lady like a handbag and not to listen to music.
