| The manufacturer is Grundig! It was made in China for them as a curio, more or less, and sold primarily by Willoughby & Ward in the back pages of many magazines.
Being that it was OEM'd in China, it was considered a throw-away when it malfunctioned. You might search for Grundig's customer support e-mail address as they are still in business and make primarily consumer shortwave portable radios. Just by way of comparison, the actual, original 1955 Model 960 was in a Bakelite cabinet, not wood, was of course all tubes, and didn't have those extra little round knobs. The pot and switch are still fine in mine 50+ years later. Unless the pot is a really weird style, you may be able to find one at a parts house such as Mouser, Jameco, or Digi-Key.

|
| I'm trying to repair a Grundig Classic Model 960 (vintage reproduction) for a friend. It's about 2 years old and the volume potentiometer/on-off switch needs to be replaced. The pot/switch assembly is mounted on a small circuit board, so I'm not sure if the pot/switch can be purchased by itself or if the whole pot/switch and IC comes as a single part. Although there are a few numbers on the IC, I can't find anything relating to manufacturer and I don't know which, if any of the numbers is a part number...
Can anyone help identify this part, and hopefully lead me to a source to buy a new one ? Thanks ! Marc |
