Grundig 2540U Antenna

Thanks guys! I've wanted one of these wood-cased, German radios ever since I got my first Grundig console. I think they are just a marvel of engineering and I'm hoping to begin begin a radio collection starting with this one. I can't wait to dig into this thing, I am excited!

Yeah, I agree with you. In addition to my two Grundig, I have a Loewe-Opta 2791W Venus Luxus and a Graetz Sinfonia 522

Okay you table-radio gurus, anything that I should be aware of prior to attempting to extract the chassis from this little beasty? It looks pretty straight-forward (if I can get the damn knobs off!). This thing appears to have the same e-stat tweeters as my Grundig console!

The only advice I can give you is to be careful when you remove the screws that lock the chassis, be careful that does not move during this operation otherwise you break the glass

Thanks Marco! Advise taken and will be heeded. Any ideas for getting these stupid knobs off? They pulled off fairly easily on my Grundig console, but these don't want to budge.

The knobs haven't a small screw? With my knobs I never had problems.
Great console!!! What is the model??
