The loudspeaker is attached directly to the device chassis in this unit and not in the housing, as is often the case with
other tape recorders. This is actually quite practical, as you do not have to worry about removing the speaker cable
when you remove the housing. The loudspeaker, by the way, has a good sound, but only if the device is installed in the
case.
When I got the Grundig TK 147, it had a very common error known as normal in devices of this series. The knob for
the drive control was in the rewind position and couldn't be moved away from this position. The reason for this was the
small white part in the foreground of the picture. This is a small plastic sleeve which is located on a metal pin. The
original part was unfortunately crumbled. As a result, the large metal lever tilted backwards with the rotary knob in
such a way that it could not be rotated at all. This error could be corrected by attaching a new sleeve. Because of
course no original spare part was available, I had to do something improvising. In a small plastic tube from an old
ballpoint pen, I finally found the right replacement for the defective original part.
