• Notes
• The Grundig-Majestic model 97 is the export version of domestic model Musikgerät 97 with the magic eye EM84. The main difference is the dial scale.
  It has a tuning range of BC 510 - 1620 Kc, FM 88 - 108 Mc and SW 5.9 - 15 Mc.
  
  SAMS only shows a transformer for 250 Volts, but the title page states AC 110 - 120 Volts, 60 cycles. The back cover names 115 Volts. It has a selenium or a silicon rectifier.
  We show the original tube tine-up as can be seen on the back cover, not the SAMS equivalent (6AQ8, 6AJ8, EF89, 6T8, EM84, 6BQ5).
