They don’t make them like this anymore

I saw this beauty, wait­ing for the dumptruck to haul it away. I nearly cried at the thought of it enter­ing a landfill.

Grundig Majes­tic. Made in Ger­many in maybe 1960. Beau­ti­ful rose­wood veneer. Short­wave radio, along with a turntable. (Of course it doesn’t work.) If we had room, I’d gut the inte­rior and make it into a cab­i­net of some sort.

Alas, the house is full, so I sold it on Craigslist. The gen­tle­man who bought it wants to use the short­wave. Triumph!

    Nice-looking radio. We had a sim­pler ver­sion in Colom­bia, don’t remem­ber the brand, but a mix­ture of but­tons and knobs, with a cou­ple of short wave bands along with AM and maybe FM (not much on FM those days).
