The Design

I know there are some people in the US with large barns, but in The Netherlands nobody has room enough to pile up these machines. Their quality is often good.
The output tube ELL80 is sometimes used as a balance output, but this radio uses it as a stereo output, one pentode for each channel. The quite modern RF pentode EAF801 serves as the MF amplifier and AM detector.

This Object

I bought this Grundig together with a Kuba for 25 guilders, scrapped the two, and sold the parts with an interesting profit. I learned a lot in the process.
