People of a certain age know that Grundig, a West German company used to make some of the worlds most advanced radios.  The home models were also beautiful.

This incredible shortwave console is in the CAREM Museum in Tecate.

This is a close up of the dial showing the five available bands.  It must have been built in the 1950’s and looks modern in a pre-space age sort of way.

I’m organizing an exhibit of the Changing Boundaries map collection in Tecate and so I have been visiting their museum.
