Sehr schöner Sammler wurde getestet und funktioniert einwandfrei
A €175 ask is strong money for a working example, but it’s not out of line if you compare it with the usual €300–€500 territory that clean Satellit 600/650-family sets can reach in collector-friendly condition; against that backdrop, this looks good rather than ambitious. If the set is genuinely complete and presentable, it sits well below the kind of price you’d expect for a top-condition example and is a more approachable buy than chasing a premium one.
That’s especially true because these big Grundigs are prized for their serious shortwave performance, rich feature set, and overall “halo” appeal among portable multiband radios. A clean, well-kept unit can be very satisfying as both a listening machine and a collectible, and the best upside is getting one that’s been cared for rather than thrashed. At this level, I’d mainly want to confirm healthy audio, smooth controls, and that any antennas, battery box, or original accessories are included.

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.
