    Grundig 2066

    We picked up this 1958 Grundig tabletop radio in non-working condition to restore and retrofit not knowing how well it’d turn out. We replaced its mono speaker with a stereo set from JBL with concentric tweeters and made this radio the overhaul it deserved.

    After installing our custom tuned amplifier we wired the volume control to the orinal 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.

    It’s compact size makes it easy to underestimate  — this thing gets loud while keeping a clear, crisp, hi-fi sound.

    I’ve wanted to own and restore a set of these speakers since forever. And I finally got the chance. I definitely overpaid for them, and they were the higher end model that included a vacuum tube amplifier inside each. Definitely the earliest powered speaker I’ve ever known of. The date I found in them was sometime in 1959. I wanted to replace the speaker cloth, but none of my sources had anything nearly as cool as the original, so we left the grime and patine as it was and gave them a new set of carbon fiber woofer speakers with AMT tweeters as well as a power amplifier with our custom tuning. They sold before I could even think up how much should we ask for them. Fortunately though, they went to an amazing family that also owns one of our Relikcs Timbre consoles in Omaha.
