Are you looking for a capable vintage automatic rather than a prestige badge? At €100, this is a strong deal: it sits below the €102 25th-percentile asking price and well under the €103 median from three recent comparable listings. That makes it bargain territory, assuming “good” condition is accurate.
The PS 4500 is a nicely specified early-1980s deck, with quartz-controlled direct drive, full automation, a low-wear brushless motor, and a respectable linear tonearm. Its Audio-Technica AT-71E moving-magnet cartridge and 1/2-inch mounting also make future stylus or cartridge work straightforward. Check that the automatic cycle, speed lock, cueing, and cartridge output all behave properly, but at this money there is plenty of upside: a clean, working example offers unusually solid engineering and convenient everyday use without stretching the budget.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Grundig traces its origins to post-World War II Germany, founded in 1945 by Max Grundig in Fürth, Bavaria. Starting as a radio repair shop under the name Fürth, Grundig & Wurzer, it quickly pivoted to manufacturing, launching the iconic Heinzelmann radio in 1948 that propelled the brand to global fame. This German engineering heritage defined an era of postwar consumer electronics innovation, with Grundig expanding into televisions, Hi-Fi systems, and broadcast technology through the 1970s. Though the original company faced insolvency in 2003, the brand was revived under Turkish conglomerate Koç Holding via Arçelik in 2007, preserving its legacy while broadening its scope.
In audio and Hi-Fi, Grundig earned renown for pioneering radios, reel-to-reel tape recorders, and high-fidelity stereos that embodied meticulous German craftsmanship. Its postwar lineup included amplifiers, speakers, and complete Hi-Fi consoles, alongside ventures like the ambitious but ill-fated Video 2000 format. Today, the brand's consumer electronics portfolio emphasizes entertainment systems, though it has shifted toward small appliances and white goods; vintage Grundig Hi-Fi gear remains sought after for its robust build and warm analog sound.
Positioned as a mid-tier heritage brand with strong vintage appeal, Grundig appeals to collectors and enthusiasts valuing reliable, no-nonsense German design over cutting-edge exotica. Once a European powerhouse rivaling Philips, its modern iterations under Arçelik maintain accessible quality in over 65 countries, blending nostalgia with practical innovation—ideal for buyers seeking durable, stylish audio classics without boutique premiums.
