Lot #2154: Vintage Grundig Transistor 305 AM/FM Portable Radio – With Custom Blue Leather Case – Collector’s Notes Dated 1965 – West Germany

Classic vintage Grundig Transistor 305 AM/FM portable radio, kept by its collector owner in a custom-made blue leather case! This radio comes from the estate of a dedicated radio and audio hobbyist who spent over 50 years working on, servicing, and collecting vintage radios. He took great pride in his collection, and this radio is a fine example. He had a custom fitted blue leather case made for it, with Velcro closures and a front label window. His handwritten notes on the case identify it as a “Grundig Radio, Transistor 305,” note “Nickel Cadmium Batteries 7.5V DC,” and inside the flap read “1965 – Grundig Transistor 305.” Grundig was one of the most respected names in West German radio. The Transistor 305 shows the clean, modern styling of its era, with a black cabinet, woodgrain-look speaker grille, chrome trim and a polished chrome carrying handle. The top-mounted slide-rule dial covers AM and FM, with pushbutton band selection and separate tuning and volume knobs. It’s a great piece for Grundig collectors and lovers of 1960s portable radios.
