Autotune Heinz

No fallan, oye. Es muy importante que nos informen sobre lo mucho que odian segn que estilos de msica. No dejan de resultar graciosos lanzando sus exabruptos desde la diminuta atalaya, que ellos consideran ms alta de lo que en realidad es, sobre la que juzgan sin ser juzgados.
El regueton es de paletos. De simples, de cortos, de ridiculos. Misma filosofia que el gangsta rap de hace 30-40 aos en EEUU. Poses pateticas, videos pateticos, musica nefasta para lo peor de lo peor, la gente Macdonald, la gente de las marcas, los ridiculos que se han tragado a saco la publicidad y el consumismo estupido de cosas que no necesitas pero te dan estatus social segun ellos. Claro como su estatus es inexistente a todos los niveles lo consiguen pintandose , maquillandose, con bolsos , marcas y las mismas jilipolleces de toda la vida que se han tragado los wanabbes. Los quiero y no puedo en manchego.
Ya eran ridiculos en los 90 aparentando lo que no eran y ahora los promocionan a saco porque evidentemente el sistema es lo que necesita. Gente sin criterio, maleable, inculta, a la que vender chorradas que no necesitan a precio de oro. Shakira lo deja claro, lo importante son las marcas, aparentar y facturar, el Rolex vs Casio, los ferraris, y ella, que no se puede comparar a la otra porque no tiene su estatus. Y la gente lo compra como feminismo empoderado, cuando es mercantilismo nauseabundo.
Y si el autotune, no debe prohibirse pero debe ponersele un impuesto como al tabaco. Mata neuronas. No hay mas que ver a los que les gusta.
This has puzzled me also. I have 2 Grundig Majestic 5040's of my own and have a 3rd one here for repair. Mine do say "Majestic" on the front plaque, but the legends on the dial are in German and the FM goes only to 100mHz.Only one of mine has the shutoff for the autotune.I only have the rear cover for one of them and it does not say Majestic, just Grundig. The one here for repair says Majestic on the front and rear cover with 5040W/USA and FM to 108 with English on the dial.So all 3 radios are different in some way. My question is: why do my 5040W/3D radios with German writing on the dials and FM to 100 say Majestic on the front plaques?? Did Majestic buy out old inventory at some point and have the plaques changed? Very interesting! By the way, what a great sounding radio!! I'll get the three of them lined up for a photo shoot later this week and post the pictures. Good Day! Ross
Greetings Ross,
Your observations agree completely with mine. . . . .I am positive there were early negotiations with the US Importers of Majestic; and most likely some production models originally designed for the domestic market were exported to the east coast and west coast distribution centers.
When I received my radio from the seller in New Hampshire in July 2004, it had only a "broken" right upper logo with the letters "NDIG Majestic". The lower left logos I believe are identical and read "3D Klang". . . . . . .
I was unable to locate the original logo, and some MOST helpful members of RMorg were kind enough to locate and ship safely to me the items I needed to "resurrect" my 5040W3D.
There was no rear panel with the radio when it was advertised on ebaY. The seller apparently had no idea of the age of the radio or its composition as she had advertised it as a "RADIO GRUNDIG BAKELITE 1940s LARGE NO RESERVE" .
As far as the UKW (FM) band is concerned, my 5040W3D has the 87.5 to 100MHz range. And the dial glass had the part number 444-040 and 22.10.54 printed along its left edge. Some early production models also had the shamrock logo of the Majestic Importers.
The motor tuning on my model permits independent pre-set positions for the UKW I and UKW II presskeys. The sound quality is absolutely superb.
Respectfully.
Robert
PS: I wish to add one additional comment. . .I have a photo from an ebaY advertisement from a gentleman in Canada whose father Herr Heinz Meinhardt, bought his Grundig 5040W3D new, on 5 September 1954, from the HELMUT HERZIG Rundfunk Fachgerschaft Ahaus/Westf for 500DM and the Nummer is 444-10053 ...........that is the lowest production number which I have recorded on any of the 444-chassis in my documentation files
