Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader,\u00a0Steve Lebkuecher, who writes:<\/p>\n

Hi Thomas<\/em><\/p>\n

I was a little surprised to see a batch of new Grundig G3s selling for $79.99 on eBay<\/a>. Given the quality issues with the G3 it may be a bit of a risk but what a great deal if you could get one that works. I have enjoy mine but ended up having to return the first one I bought due to issues with the sync.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for all you do, I always appreciate your website!<\/em><\/p>\n

Many thanks for the tip, Steve! You’re right, if this batch of new, un-opened radios is from the last production run of G3s, there could be inconsistency in quality control<\/a>. The seller,\u00a0hileydeals<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>has a 99.6% positive rating and offers, “14 days money back or item exchange, buyer pays return shipping.<\/em>” \u00a0So, if you purchase a G3 and feel it’s not performing up to spec, then you could return for a full refund within 14 days, but you’ll be out your return shipping.<\/p>\n

The rubberized coating on the G3 is also prone to develop a\u00a0sticky residue\u00a0with\u00a0time. We’ve posted a number of cleaning solutions–click here to read.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve owned a total of three Grundig G3s over the years and have never been displeased with one. I may have simply been lucky. In fact, the G3 was my go-to travel portable for quite a few years.\u00a0I gave two G3s away and still have one here in my collection. It’s a sensitive little radio and certainly worth the $79.99 price (if not one of the faulty units<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about this offer, and are considering biting the bullet, you should contact the seller prior to purchasing. It appears they have a number of units in stock.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
