1956/1957 Grundig 5080

This is the "five band equalizer". This ten-tube Grundig flagship radio boasts five speakers & the equalizer fingerwheels each make a very noticeable difference in bass, treble and midrange. The one in the middle can very nearly cut the vocals out of any song...karaoke emcees take notice! The overall fidelity rivals any Bella series Loewe Opta and the volume alone can make even era Blaupunkt designers rethink their gameplan. Behind each wheel is an activated panel with a red dot that moves vertically across the musical scale; each dot is connected to the other four by a tensil thread! Clever, eh?!??
