You're right for once. The West Germans made some really good radios at
a time when America and Japan was turning out tinny sounding crap. A lot
of GIs stationed in West Germany bought these radios and brought them
home to the US because they were so good. AND they run on 115v as well
as 220v (European power was uneven and unreliable) so all somebody had
to do was replace the power cord and voila a great radio. The only
problem is that many only go up to 100 Mhz on the FM band because
Germany didn't have many FM stations.
