I figure you’re the best source to get word of this out. Heartland America (1-800-229-2901) (www.heartlandamerica.com) is selling refurbished Grundig Executive Satellit receivers for $129.99 (MSRP $229.99).
The ad states “Factory serviced to meet original quality standards – may have slight cosmetic blemishes”.
It is Item No. 1Z-94828.
I have one of these I bought earlier this year on a similar deal from Heartland America. It works and plays perfectly and if there is a blemish, I’ve yet to find it. This is an excellent portable at a bargain price.
Excellent, John! Thanks for the tip!
Is that case the standard case for the executive Sattelit? It reminds me a lot of the Grundig G2000A’s leather case. Of course, I preferred my G3’s soft case to the Porsche Design leather case, but it’s still neat to see, especially considering that the G2000A was my first SW radio.
I suggest one does not buy radios from Heartland. It will likely be out of stock, resulting in an extended back order wait time. And when you do get it, it may not be the product you ordered.
New Executive Satellits now $109.95 at Amazon
