GrumpyTim | Grundig Yacht Boy 210 - 1970s Radio - Repair, Clean & Demo @GrumpyTim | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
I found this early 1970s Grundig Yacht-Boy 210 radio at a flea market, the price was good, and I do like a good old Grundig radio, so I bought it. Unlike the other two Grundig radios I've featured on the channel, this one didn't need that much doing to it - the top of the ariel had been broken off so I've made a replacement top section, albeit still quite a bit shorter than it would have been originally, and the foam voice coil cover on the loudspeaker had perished so that was also replaced along with the foam gasket round the speaker. Other than that, it just needed a good clean and then it was ready to demonstrate. Although there's not so much repair work to do in this video, it is fairly representative of the condition in which many of these old radios will be found, just needing a little bit of TLC to get them back into action.
