Classic table top radio model from 1975-1977. Grundeg RF 412 Radio in operating condition, although modern households do interfere in the receiving of stations.
Has the following channels AUS, TA, UKW, MW and LW. Has on / off single volume switch and the turning button which is called Sender. The condition of the plastic body is fresh clean and pristine with no damage issues, the rear is exceptional and there is a UK power cord attached.
First of all, it's "Grundig", the family name of it's founder who started the company in the late 40s, and managed it untill the late 80s when the died, a tube shop owner who saw the dire need for radios in post ww2 west germany.
Grundig made lots of radios and some superb quality speakers.
Their radios were from barebones up to the professional shortwave ones, some of them being called the best of their time.
What you have there is a no thrills basic model, not much of a value.
The "Aus" button in not a wavelenght but the power off button. Their old radios turned on when you pressed a band button or phono button and had only an off button. I have an RTF 600 with a similar buttons scheme.
If you want some true hi-fi ones try the RTF 600 or 650 or 800 or 1000 series. They have many more ho-fi and professional models, google is your friend if you are in the least bit interested
