Grundig TT

[slide_advantage_redoux]

First post in awhile.

While on vacation in Florida, my in-laws passed along the turntable in their rarely used system.

Never one to pass up free TTs, I loaded her up and drove back home (today in fact; I just got back to Texas....helluva drive!)

This TT looks a lot like a 70s Dual. It is made by Grundig, Model PE2010. (on the underside,. it indicates PS5)

I haven't done much research at all, but I get the idea it is a keeper. The base is heavy and seems to be very stable. I have yet to hook it up or even check out the stylus.

I needed a spare to hook up to my PC so I can burn copies of my LPs to hard drive, and I am pretty excited about this one.

Anyone familiar with Grundig stereo gear, specifically turntables?

Thanks!

If it's anything like the Grundig radio I have it will be designed and built to withstand a nuclear first strike !

Plus one on that. We bought a Grundig turntable/radio console in Ethiopia in '67 and shipped it back home, and it still sees occasional use in my Dad's basement study!

This TT turns wax at 16, 33, 45 and 78.

As soon as I invest in a voltage transformer I will pop for the requisite cartridge/needle so I can play the 78s that I can't seem to get rid of. I decided if they are here with me, I may as well embrace them. I have found some interesting things among them.
