Only $5 for 10 PCBs and every new member get $5 bonus. + Express 24 hour / 48 hour service on https://www.pcbway.com/ ➠ ➠ ➠ In Part 2 of this restoration series, I tackle one of the most challenging aspects of bringing this Grundig 2447 back to life—finding a replacement for the missing tuning condenser. With the original ripped out, I had to match the unequal values of the two gangs while navigating the tricky mechanics of the tuning dial. The standard tuning gear just didn’t fit, so I had to get creative to make it work.
From custom adjustments to careful testing, this step was both challenging and rewarding. The result? A promising solution that brings me one step closer to fully restoring this beautiful 1965 tube radio.
