another electronic trash day find

[Cybrvanr]

I posted some pictures of the Magnavox stereo, but I forgot to post pictures of this other cool radio I found! It's a Grundig Majestic 2065. It's missing some tubes, including an eye tube (this radio appears to use one of the "V" tubes" and because the tubes are German, re-tubing this radio may get a little pricey. I really want to get this radio going though. It cleaned up really good, and the chassis looks quite nice inside. I imagine once it's all tubed up, it should play pretty nice. I've heard these Grundigs really have good recieption!

In the meantime, it looks great on top of my cupboard with my lava lamps in my retro kitchen!

Steven,

By the time this was built, nearly all continental European and US tubes together with the UK valves had equivalence charts.(funny how we all chose different names - 'valve' surely comes closer, no?).
If you can track down the numbers and post, someone here is bound to have the US equivalents catalog numbers. When I had to replace the tubes in my Grundig reel-to-reel back in the 70's, the scarcest of the "e" numbers in the USA turned out to be an 12AX7a...identical pin out and all.

Is that a Paul Masson wine bottle there?
