That's most likely true. There were a lot of import rules back then.
Lloyd's made some pretty good radios (and some pretty bad ones). In my
experience, their AM only radios with the TRF stage were right up there
with the Channel Master and Sony radios of the same type for reception,
but they weren't quite up to the latter's audio quality. I suspect this
particular radio probably wasn't too bad on the AM and SW bands, but I've
yet to see one of these types that was worth spit on the VHF bands.

This is a pretty good radio. Even without an alignment, it's performs very
well. And the build quality is abot as good as it got for that era. It
reminds me of a Panasonic RF-5000 in that regard.
