Hi again, a 5 Pin to 5 Pin stereo lead may be OK to use as some of the Grundig recorders had dummy holes on the 3 Pin DIN sockets to allow a 5 pin plug to be inserted (best to check though)

As already mentioned if using a 5 pin to 5 pin lead you will have to operate the Mono switch on your amplifier.

Also the Micro key is next to the TEMP STOP key and not the Stop key on the tape transport controls (I was going from memory till I saw a picture of a TK14)
