I've been searching all over for a value on this. It's a Grundig Majestic stereo model 5017, made in Germany. Perfect working condition. I can't find the exact model, or what it would be worth. :-[

In case you didn't know, i LOVE old radios..

gonna bump an old thread here...
I have a '56 model of the same (model 4085), a little older than yours. Yours may be as late as the late 60s, the V-shaped badge is later. Before the bottom dropped out of the economy, I found that mine in fairly good shape, unrestored was ~$700 and VGC/restored were as high as $1300. Now, the values are going to be depressed a bit due to market conditions for collectibles almost across the board.
They were the first home radios with a built-in amplifier, BTW.

Your radio looks in beautiful condition and it's a bonus that it works well. However, very few old radios are worth much. I have an oldie myself, a 1927 Rogers Batteryless beautiful floor model but it's not worth much either.
For the last word on value of just about any old radio, the place to go is http://www.antiqueradios.com/ (http://www.antiqueradios.com/)

unfortunately, any searches of their value guide for 'Grundig' returned a 404 internal server error.

For the site I linked, it's best to join the forum and ask. Those people are really a wealth of knowledge on all things pertaintaing to old radios. :)
