== Remarks ==
 
The TK 247 and the TK 241 (mono) were the only fully transistorized units from the 200 series until 1969.
 
The design is similar to the [[Grundig TK 245]], is 4 cm wider (more speakers) and the level controls
 
are newly arranged.
 
 
 
Special features: The automatic recording tuning out of the TK 245 was omitted.
 
 
 
Both stereo channels are controlled together via ONE control.
 
 
 
Note: the mains selector switch was supplied for 220 volts. Since 1987, however, the mains supply has been 230 volts, and the selector switch should be changed to 240 volts with a coin (photo) - to protect the unit.
