The receiver unit is marked “SATELLITE RECEIVER” and includes its original instruction manual. Completing the collection is a Maxcom 7E Alert mobile transceiver kit housed in a black vinyl-covered carrying case.

Condition report:
The Grundig Satellit 500 shows light surface dust and wear to the plastic casing, with the telescopic antenna intact (photo 3). The Connexions Antenna Positioner and the DS-1002 receiver exhibit significant dust and surface grime, particularly on the upper surfaces and rear panels (photo 5). There is visible oxidation and remnants of wiring on the rear terminals of the antenna positioner (photo 6). The Maxcom transceiver kit appears in good cosmetic condition, although the protective foam insert within the carrying case is deteriorating and crumbling significantly (photo 2). All items are untested.
