I just started to notice that my Grundig Satellit 750 Shortwave Radio is having problem with upper side band. If I put the switch on USB it gets a low sound and if I place it on SSB I can hear some but not full speech. The problem starts at 20Meter Band.

The 750 is difficult to repair due to its obsolescence with parts and qualified technicians to do service. There used to be a guy down in Sparks Nevada, who was German or Austrian and I believe he was an older gentleman so I suspect he’s passed away. He was a gem. I had him service mine years ago and it worked perfect.

You might check eBay, but use caution as a friend purchased a NOS 750 a few years back for $900 it was never removed from the original box or packing, however after a year it stopped working and he was never able to get it repaired. However eBay does have the guarantee if it’s not working to what the seller posts even if they say “no returns” I sold one to a guy in Italy in 22 and he still uses it and loves it
I’ve been on eBay since 99 with a 100% feedback selling hf receivers and watches.
