GRUNDIG TRANSISTOR 305 RETRO 70s RADIO<\/h2>\n

\"TopFront\"<\/a>
\nHere’s a classic portable transistor radio made by Grundig in the early1970s showing its age although in perfect working condition sounding rather good. The Transistor 305 is a basic model with two wavebands AM & FM. Finished in dark black plastic with chrome trim and black front grille, rather than the more common wood effect. Top dial has clear lettering with original aluminium control knobs and chrome push buttons but the dial does have a crack around the volume as shown in the photos. The handle is solid with bright chrome although rather\u00a0loose on left side as the spring retaining clip has fractured.<\/p>\n

\"Top\"<\/a>
\nThe radio sounds excellent with that rich Grundig sound. The battery compartment is free from any corrosion and cover is present but with a chip which still holds in place by the retaining screw. Note the original aerial is missing its top end section and would benefit from replacement but FM is sensitive so is not really needed and clicks into position for rotation. It runs on a PP9 battery. There is a special miniature 2 pin socket for external 9v adapter. Size is 29cm wide, 18cm tall and 7cm deep, weight 1.8kg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
