Grundig 87 WE - How to add a pick-up?
Hello everyone!
I am working on this MW/SW set. I acquire it only because i needed a similar mains transformer, but I found it in good conditions, so I decided to restore it. Despite I was not able to find the schematic in the web, the set is now working properly, I believe. Since it has no FM, I would like to add a pick-up (the set has no such option). Is it possible to do so with minor changes? Is anyone able to give me some advice on this? Link for the set: https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/grundig_87_we87w.html Many thanks in advanve! Diniz, from PORTUGAL |

The schematic is on the link you provided (Radio museum).
Although the radio has a mains transformer it appears to mainly be for the heater supplies. The chassis is not isolated from the mains - R19 47ohms. For safety I would not advise fitting a Pick up to this set. John |

Hi Diniz, Please "Search this website" above for "FM to AM Convertor" This is a device that picks up your local FM radio stations and transmits the low power signal to your AM set. I think its the safest way to enjoy your radio.

ATTENTION, NO MAINS ISOLATION, ONLY AUTOTRANSFORMER. DANGER, LINE VOLTAGE AT CHASSIS. Last edited by ukcol; 21st Jun 2018 at 5:34 pm. |
