grundig: Transistor 5000; Satellit 205 or 205A?
grundig: Transistor 5000; Satellit 205 or 205A?
The differences are:
- one model says "Satellit" on the lower edge of the dial whilst the others say "Transistor 5000".
- This also has station names on Medium waveband, FM channel numbers and "Rundspruch I - VI" marked on the LW scale.
- The dial and switches are marked U, K4 - K1, M and L on this set, but FM, S4 - S1, M and L on the others.
- One is marked in MHz, the other in MC/s.
- The "Satellit" does not have a removable window over the KW/SW drum, the others do.
- The back on the "Satellit" is held in place by one screw into the plastic chassis moulding, whilst on the other model it is held by two screws into the metal chassis.
I did wonder if some models were intended for the Americas rather than Europe/UK?

GRUNDIG Satellit 205 or TR 5000 whats the reason?
The Sat 205 was the first "Satellit" from GRUNDIG.
Here I show for you, different Numbers of Diagrams.
First Sat.205 for Germany and TR 5000 for the USA Market.
On the different Drawing Numbers "1141-62" and " 9141-62" you can see, there was two version topical in 1964.
After 1965 are new Version on Top. " Sat 205a" and "Transistor 5000a"
The Audio Module is change on the "a" versions.
First ( the 205) use on input- stage a AC151r low noise pnp germanium Trans.
The "a" use a BC108 A or BSY 76b, this is a NPN Silicon Trans.
The circuit must be changed to realice this. Also the Number of the Module
My own set, on of the first model, has on the Dial glass from TUNER, one screw to fix the glass.

Confirmation of the internal differences
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. Today I opened up the two radios in question and indeed there are differences as you describe - on the radio I assumed to be the "A" model there is a BC108A transistor on the audio module, and on the earlier radio there is the AC151r transistor. If I remember correctly, this earlier radio was purchased from eBay (Germany), the other two were purchased here in England which might explain the presence of the "Satellit" name. So it would seem that there were improvements to the exterior design as well as the electronics when the "A" models were released: I only have the service documents for the 205A/Tr.5000A. So now I shall endeavour to restore the "original" Satellit 205.
One thing now interests me: what is the meaning of the markings "Rundspr. I - VI" on the Long Waveband?
Thank you again for your help!
Kind regards,
Mike Izycky.

What means Telephonrundspruch ?
Your next question:
Schweizer Telephon Rundspruch, is a Longwave Broadcasting Service on the 600 Ohms Telephon -line. Instead Frequency in kc, Channel Nr.are used . "I , II, III etc.
On RM.org you can find many Articles abaud this. See here:

Another diference : SSB module
I see on www classic-worldband.com that the SAT 205A is the amateur version, and so comes with the SSB module integrated in the back.

SSB Unit
Hello.
if you look here, you can find these complet Information.
Remarks: The Version Sat 205a is not the same as Sat 205A
