Tube Radio Vintage

Grundig Majestic model 4040W 3D Klang Vintage Radio. 8 ” wide 17″ high 12 deep. At first glance this Grundig looks like a regular high class device of the prestigious german brand. It is not like that. At that time Grundig was producing its three high class models: the 4040, the5040 and the 5050. These devices were produced both in 3D with side loudspeakers and only with front loudspeakers. Compared to front loudspeaker radios, 3D models are endowed with a strong depth effect as far as the sound image is concerned. The three 3D system high class models were also equipped with a motorized tuning system. It is clearly possible to manually tune the stations by employing the switch to exclude the motor. The tuning mechanism is an authentic masterwork and it will be described as follows. The video file (37,31 Mb), which can be downloaded, best shows the functioning of the 4040W/3D. In those years Grundig began to intensely export its products to the USA. The demand got to such a high level that the joint-venture with the American brand Majestic was created. Technical specifications of these devices were even stricter than those produced for the inner and the European market. Grundig decided to produce devices that were suitable for European broadcasting systems while employing Majestics restrictive specifications. This 4040W/3D model is one of those rare Grundig/Majestic appliances. It is equipped with a double output transformer for low and medium-high frequencies. Regular 4040W/3D used to be equipped with a single output transformer. The 4040W/3D has the powerful (18W) EL12 as its power tube. Other than the electrostatic tweeter, the 4040W/3D has a huge elliptical multioctave woofer with a die-cast drum, which ensures a deep and sweet bass even with the central bass potentiometer (which I suggest). Watching the big needle going through the scale of its own accord is extremely fascinating. Due to its design and the robust piece of furniture, which works as a real loudspeaker, the sound of this device is extremely warm and well-rounded. Further information about the extraordinary refinement of this device will be listed down below. A real delight both to be listened in on and to be seen. Furthermore, its rareness makes of it a real collectors item. This rardio was tested sound amasing , all works, minor scratches, must see.
