The price difference when used is interesting, although I guess the 650
was, for one reason or another, quite a bit more expensive when new as
well. The 650 doesn't look as big as the 800...is that correct? In
general, how is the build quality of the 650? I've heard from several
people that it has amazing sound.

It is similar in size but much heavier. Very old school.

Tora! Tora! Tora! movie is on tv now,but I have seen that movie so many
times before,I know it by heart,I can run it better than they can in my
brain box with my eyes closed.I am fixin to head on over to the Goodwill
thrift store now and see can I find me a Gruntdig satellit radio or any
kind of a good old radio for two or four dollars.Stay Tuned.

The only Grundig I own and have owned before is my Telefunken
AM/FM/Shortwave/Phonograph wooden cabinet floor model radio that is
masquerading as a Grundig radio,I think.It is sitting on my hardwood
floor near the corner by one of the front windows in my living room.I
have never owned any other Grundig radios before (nowdays,the name
Grundig means absolutely nothing to me at all,those modern day
Grundigs,that is) this one and in my opinion,when Grundig went to
China,they screwed up.Panasonic had some Panaonic radios made in
Germany.

I own a big Grundig AM/FM/Shortwave wooden cabinet floor model radio
that has a built in Phonograph in the top of the radio.It says so right
there on the front speaker (pot metal sign thingy,Grundig) Grundig.A
couple of months ago,I looked at the two pamplets inside of an envelope
thingy that came with the radio,owners manual and an instruction manual
thingy.No where does the owners manual and the instruction say
Grundig,instead,they say,Telefunken.The date (as best as I could tell
that is printed inside of one of the manuals/pamplets thingy) of
manufacture of the radio was 1957.I bought the radio for $14.00
(fourteen dollars) about nine years ago at a Goodwill store that used to
be on Palmyra Street (winos and drunks and freaks kept breaking into
that downtown Jackson Goodwill store so much,Goodwill had to shut the
store down,I am serious!) here in
Jackson,Mississippi.(www.devilfinder.com Cool Buildings Of Jackson) Not
long after that at the same Goodwill store,I bought a big wooden cabinet
Telefunken AM/FM/ table model radio for $4.00. (four dollars) That radio
also has an envelope thingy with an owners manual/pamplet inside of the
rear panel of the radio.I couldn't find a date,but I believe the radio
dates back to the 1960's,perhaps late 1950's.Needless to say,my old
radios are not for sale or trade.So,why does my floor model Grundig
radio have Telefunken owners manual and instruction manual/pamplets
inside of the radio,did it used to be Telefunken/Grundig or
Grundig/Telefunken,whatever? Oviously,they are the proper and correct
manuals/pamplets for the radio,according to the pictures.

I don't really need to know which is best, but I'd love to liven up the
group a little.

I've researched this question, just out of curiosity, and seem to
detect a vague consensus that the Satellit 700 was probably the best of
the line. I haven't used the Satellit 700, so I can't offer an opinion,
but I'd be curious to know whether others agree or not. The 700s are
always available on ebay, and I have found myself tempted at times.
