I think I've found the transistor that is intermittently failing in my

Ummm... could you take a 2nd look at the model number? Grundig makes

A lot of Grundig radios are almost impossible to locate schematics

recently on Ebay.


In contrast, most of their TVs had a service sheet stowed in a slot inside
the cabinet.
