COOL---Saw a Telephunkin one sort of like that in a thrift store years and years ago-still kicking myself for not buying it when I saw it.also someone at the place where I work in DC plant had one just like what you have shown-Tuned us in on it-picked up any of the Greenville SW broadcasts-Like the tuning eye indicator tube on it-better than a meter! Bet it sounds real nice-a real tabletop Hi-Fi!
Great radio find Greg, congrats! Glad its working too!

Hi Greg,
I found a Grundig Majestic radio a few years ago in an antique shop in Fairmount Indiana for $90.00.It is very similar to yours in styling. I cleaned the tube sockets and cabinet,and put it in my office at work. I listen to NPR all day,five days per week. It has NEVER failed. I think mine is from the late 1950's-early 1960's era. (blond wood cabinet) They are a quality piece, sound nice,and have that wonderful retro look some of the electronic companies are trying to copy right now.
Congrats on another great find!!!

Cool Greg
Now this is something that I could bring my husband in here to see and get more than a "That's nice Honey" response!

Very nice. I've seen a few of those around in my lifetime, but usually with some degree of heavier wear, i.e. one or more buttons cracked or missing in the front.
I take it the country names are located at the places on the dial where their national shortwave services are transmitting?

thanks all ......
thanks for the comments
, always nice to share ......... the cabinet has a little "cracking" in the high gloss finish, but that is OK, I rubbed it good with furniture oil. Yes, several of the countries so listed do come in. You can hear all the different languages and accents. The FM does have a very nice sound. The seller told me it was the "BOSE" radio of its time. That may be a "stretch" in my mind, but could very well be true. It is fairly large and heavy too.
