I remember my dad bought my older sister a Grundig Solo Boy 500 radio when we were both very little (some time around 1970?). To say I was envious was an understatement. The styling, the build quality and the performance were fantastic to my young eyes.

Our Grundig Solo Boy 500 radio went on holiday with the family every year and we usually motored our way all around Europe (as far as Yugoslavia some years).

The reception was very good and the sight of this radio always takes me back to lazy evenings spent in a roadside tent somewhere deep in Europe.
