Default C. Crane's CCRadio-SW: Not what it used to be?

The C.Crane CCRadio-SW is a Redsun import. Redsun made a deal with C.Crane
that allows C.Crane to be the sole importer of their radios into the US.



That's clear from the many reviews I've seen - the name "Kaito" is
associated with predecessors of the unit as well, but what does all
this say about the quality of the radios now coming through CCrane
now?

I was hoping to buy one new!


You can still buy English, 110 volt version Redsun 2100s on eBay, direct
from China.

But would they be any better, or should I assume that the manufacturer
is dumping all their lemons on CCrane? Hard to believe, unless the
chinese are counting on the stupidity of CCrane or their US buyers?
