I recently picked up a vintage Grundig Sonoclock 890, mostly for the aesthetic. It’s a classic piece of German engineering—solid wood, warm face lighting, and that distinctive 70s/80s hi-fi look. I bought it "as-is," expecting to just use it as a static display piece or a simple FM radio. However, what happened next turned this into a fascinating project.
