I recently purchased a Grundig-Majestic 5017U Stereo. All of te tubes light up, but it won't play. What could be the problem? Also, I would like some info on when it was made and how much it's worth.

Dan,
that only means the 6 or 12 volt filament tap on the power transformer works. i would assume then,the entire transformer is working.you can always put an ohm meter across the secondary. first thing to do is replace the old high voltage filter capacitors right away. Since, if it's stereo, you have 2 complete channels in the amplifer sec..it's unlikley both outputs are open or both preamp triodes and output tubes are bad. If there is not even the slightest hum in either channel or otherwise noise to let you know...then i would say you have a B+ network problem..Get a scheme and an ohm-cap meter and work through the B supply to the output and preamp tubes.

If you do have some kind of indication the amp is working then work back up the af- rf chain looking for bad coupling caps, open resistors, or other R/C problems.. Barring the fact all the tubes show good in a tester.(just because they light doesnt mean a thing)

often you can spot badly heated resistors and poped caps visually.. tapping around with the butt end of a screwdriver with power on will often locate an intermittant connection,,

10 to one if you have no hum or hear anything at all when you switch on the set,,,it's a power supply problem..

I recently found a Grundig Majestic SO 102/60PX in my grandmothers basement, works perfectly, except for the turntable. How do I tell the year and value etc...

Hi Daniel
I think, Dave is right to look at the anode's power supply.
Now what you also should do with old Grundig's: The caps
for coupling and filtering except the electrolytic ones are
often of the type ERO 100. They are wax-sealed paper capacitors.
The wax shrinked and broke in the last 40 years, humidy got in
and if it's a coupling cap the following tube is not happy about this.
I replace them without testing by better ones wherever possible.
I hope i can find out when the Grundig was made but it should have been
sold here in Germany too (not export version only).

Good luck !

: I was looking for information on the Grundig-Majestic

2120 radio. I would like some info on when it was

made and how much it's worth.

Thank You.

I got home plugged it in and it worked. I was thrilled. I just wanted to know what the starting cost would be for one of these.

I don't know what model I have but it has a turntable with 78,45, 33 speeds, a radio with multi-sonic tone control and made in W. Germany. It all used to work but the tubes, I don't think, work any more. It was left in the house I purchased in Rye, New York. It now resides in Los Angeles, CA. How can I get it tuned up? Anyone know?
