Yeah, it does have a retro look. The signal strength meter and
speaker grill are reminiscent of the Sony ICF-6700W/6800W. The
Grundig/Eton/Tecsun folks are clearly trying to appeal to our sense of
nostalgia.

Now, they just need to load the unit with vintage recordings of old
Cold War-era propaganda broadcasts, ready for playback on demand...

Interestingly, Universal's profile of the product contains no
reference to the "advanced DSP technology" that's mentioned on the
Eton website: http://www.etoncorp.com/product_card...uctDbId=351064
