still made in Germany !

Grundig AG is not involved in these products. Eton, formerly
Lextronix, bought the rights to the name in North America. But Grundig
is neither involved, nor acknowledges these products.

The products are commissioned in California, built by Tecsun, marketed
under the Grundig name. The promotional materials distributed about
these products imply, and have in the past directly claimed, that German
artisans...in one case, the original German craftsmen...are involved in
the production of these products.

Rarely has any company gone to such lengths to obscure the true
lineage of a product line as has Lextronix, now Eton, done with those
bearing the Grundig name.
