Grundig 2066
This vintage Grundig radio showcases our transformation of the 1958 Grundig 2066 into a modern streaming machine. By integrating JBL speakers, custom amplification, and wireless streaming, we preserve the charm of vintage design while delivering high-fidelity performance.
We picked up this 1958 Grundig tabletop radio with a blown (single) speaker and burnt out amplifier to restore and retrofit not knowing how well it’d turn out.
Inside the Grundig 2066: From Mono to Stereo
Usually preferring buying broken down radios, we never know what to expect. Especially when ordering online. In this case, it only took a deep cleaning and some light buffing at Vintage Source to make its wooden case shine. The audio however, was a different story.
Every Vintage Grundig radio retrofit we build is tuned for clarity, warmth, and reliability and this one is no different. We started by replacing its mono speaker with a stereo set from JBL with concentric tweeters.
After installing our custom tuned amplifier we wired the volume control to the original volume knob and kept the original clacky buttons performing some modern functions — off, on and input selection, cycling through Wi-Fi Streaming (for Spotify Connect, Apple Airplay and more), Bluetooth, and even an aux-in port in the back.
This custom retrofit honors the Grundig legacy while delivering modern performance and convenience. But don’t let it’s compact size fool you, it gets loud while keeping a clear, crisp, hi-fi sound.
