In short, I love the styling and performance of mine and have many hours on them.
This is my first Telefunken radio I've owned, I've had several Grundigs but they all developed detrimental problems that were unable to be repaired so I had to scrap them. I am hoping I can get this Telefunken going so I can have a
working German radio in my collection.

How did you fix the light socket in your Gavotte?
