Grundig Satellit 3400

[@ebt12]

What a beautiful and useful radio. So well thought out, and in the right hands can be repaired and used for many more years. When Perry Como came on I started to sing. I have a portable currently, but when my wife and I have a house I would want something along the lines of this radio.

Thank You! I still have this RADIO, I bought it in 1980 and enjoyed it, its still like new! it has a cover too!! Grunding, W.Germany!

A Grundig analog classic shortwave radio from 1978 using analog and mechanical technology, with a wide variety of useful controls and warm rich mellow audio from its internal speaker. Thank you for sharing.

I know I bought a crappie Chinese Grundig,the piece of junk lasted about 6 months of very limited use.

Got mine ten days ago. Of course works fine just on FM, but i believe with some cleaning it'll go fine on SW also.

It was on this very Grundig Radio, back on 1980 that a Radio DX Amateur, listening, has discovered,ONLINE,before anybody else, the ill fated US military operation to rescue the hostages in Iran that took place on April 24 1980.

[@sparkdetect]

A real dream-radio. I have a Satellit 3000 that has a lot of issues. It's my best-sounding radio though.

[@virgilgheorghiu5600]

Make sure you check the capacitors on at least the power supply. The FM "warming up" is usually a sign of capacitance shifting. Since it only happens on FM, it might be just on that supply / board.

[@wu2u]

+Virgil Gheorghiu thanks so much for that information.

[@wu2u]

Don't know if you saw my later lost but I had this 3400 completely restored and realigned. It is now perfect, probably better performance than new. I just had to make this radio 100 % , it's just too beautiful.

[@seeinghearingengineering7368]

Ja, ein tolles Radio von Grundig. Wir benutzen den Satellit 2100 und 3000 heute noch täglich. Und es gab ja auch noch einen SSB Zusatz dazu. A super radio from Grundig. We have a Satellit 2100 and 3000 and use it daily. And there was also a SSB module for the Satellit. We present it in our channel m2counselling and in the next days also on SHE.

The released Iran hostages paraded in a Welcome Back, at the US Military Academy, on January 25, 1981. I still have a bath towel, I bought at my job, depicting their return. I just purchased a Grundig Satellit 3400 on ebay and I look forward to it's arrival soon to add to my collection of these receivers, which along with others now total 15. I hope it will perform well, as you point out age causes deterioration. Thanks for your video pointing out your work on it. Ray W2CH.

[@wu2u]

Good luck with the 3400. I hope it is in great working condition.

[@raymondmartin6737]

@@wu2u Thanks, I just received it on July 21, 2020 in excellent condition, with the power cord. So far on FM reception was excellent. Nothing received yet on SW, MW was moderate. Everything seems to work. The bands switch nicely. It is a solid fairly heavy radio. We are moving from here in Delray Beach, Florida in about 4 weeks to Nashua, NH in about mid-September, so I am looking forward to reception up there. 73 Ray W2CH.

IN FACT,this is satellit 3000 in new case-technically the same ,more expensive because of its more professional look

[@Th0rnblade]

Actually that tweeter is really "on" even when you put it on by the button, only in FM. It is powered on from the amplifier only when switched to FM. What you hear on AM from the tweeter is only placebo.

[@wu2u]

Sorry everyone about my audio. I didn't realize it was so light and hard to hear in several places.

[@Mikexception]

I was looking for this quite a time and managed to get at last. With some deficiences which I was able to rectify so that is all perfect now. . It is beauty and the performance is unusual. But there is also option for charged battery which seems not popular type - with side charging and voltage 9 V. I got it only with 6 dry cells 1,5v . What may be the type of it?

[@wu2u]

Its called a Dryfit Type 476, made by Sonnenschein. Another label on it says "Sicherung T 2 A Fuse/Fusible. It is an 8v, 3AH pack. I have one for mine but it no longer takes a charge. I haven't tried rebuilding it yet.

[@Mikexception]

Thanks for essential data. In my place happens sometime 2 hours brakes in mains and it is the best time for reception of AM radio - low interferences make a huge change in plus. Then I need good batteries. What I observed sensitivity worsens with worsen battery voltage. Dry cells when new can deliver 9,6 V I'checked other possibilities and possibly it could (but with mechanical modifications) be Makita 9,6V, 2 Ah. But then charging should be lifeted 9V to 10 V which I am not sure can be done.

Hi, I think I told you a while back ago in 2020, that I obtained a Grundig Satellit 3400 in very good condition and it works well. However, I was just using it today, and while using the red LED frequency digital display, it went out and has not come back on. Would you be able to tell me what might be a problem 🤔 here? Thank you, Ray, W2CH.

[@wu2u]

I hate to think it could be serious. I believe the digital display is actually a frequency counter, and perhaps the circuitry is bad. If you email me privately I can give you the name and contact information of the engineer who restored mine. (mikewu2u@g****.com)

[@raymondmartin6737]

Hi, about 6 months ago I had the frequency display, digital readout, which had failed, repaired by Tom. Now I wish to sell my Satellit 3400. Would you know of anyone who would be interested to purchase it? I asked Tom too. I also would like to sell my Grundig Satellit 208- 6001 receiver and Grundig Stereo Concert Boy 4000, both from the late 1960's. If you do know, please Let me know. 73 de W2CH Ray

[@Pelerincha]

I have a Grundig Satellit 2100. What can I do to clean it up. It works well except the one of the tuner is stuck on something it can't move. I also have a Grundig, the last one before they were made in China. I don't have an instruction for it....but it is quite a radio....

[@wu2u]

Not sure if you are referring to the push buttons on top? The radio does disassemble quite easily, and will slide out of the forward "shell". You may find something physically hindering the travel of the button. Sometimes these radios are opened up and the person working on it didn't put things back together right and didn't have everything lined up. That could potentially cause a button to be "jammed" in place. If so, it would be easy to get to function again.

[@Pelerincha]

The buttons work fine. I can’t turn the tuning knob , something is hindering the dial from moving

[@Pelerincha]

Any tips on cleaning the workings of the radio that will improve it

[@wu2u]

@@Pelerincha I would say that if you can't turn the band selector then something is impeding it. Something is physically blocking the rotation. Once frees up try using Deoxit on the contacts and potentiometers
