I have one. It "sounds good". Other than that, it sucks!
Tuning is "spongy". You can tune back and forth and NEVER get it exactly
where it needs to be.


That's unfortunate. Real Grundigs got those details right. My Grundig has
a slow tuning rate, a steel dial cord on the tension side and a big
flywheel. There's no noticable backlash, even on SW. And, for anyone with
even the slightest ear to hand coordination, tuning just feels good.



Full of images.


Oh, yeah. My Grundig has plenty of images. But it's not as bad as it used
to be, back when the bands were filled with utility stations.


Overloads on a random wire.


I had a big attic wire. The radio loved it!


Trust
me, it's junk...




As I understand, plenty of people don't think much of it.
