Reviews

• Very nice and timeless RC set with excellent radio reception. The Grundig C6200 automatic had - like actually all Grundig sets of the 1970s - a sensational radio reception, which certainly contributed to the sales success of these sets. The cassette part was not outstanding, but fulfilled the standard of that time. Unfortunately, the cassette drive is quite susceptible to failure nowadays (the gears of the drive tend to crumble due to the soft plastic material used at that time - intact units are therefore very rare). Unfortunately, the plastic used had an effect on the durability and long-term stability of the gears. Unfortunately, this problem affects all Grundig cassette drives of all series.
