The Chinese crap with Grundig's name on them are no more a Grundig
radio than the Japanese crap with Hammond's name on them are Hammond
Organs.

Hammond Organs have tubes and tone wheels powered by Tesla's
synchronous motors....(c;

Are you certain about that? I don't think Grundig has manufactured any radios in
Germany for some time now.

The FR200 may be badged Grundig, but it is indeed made by Eton in Asia.

Yes, when I bought a Grundig Yacht Boy 400PE in the fall, I thought it was the
good old German radio company. I was in for quite a surprise when I opened
it.

Your first clue it wasn't a Grundig was when you lifted it. You could
easily pick it up with ONE hand. Even Grundig portables were
TWO-handed devices....(c;

LOL Yep! Real Hammond organs are unique instruments, not synthesizers of other
instruments' sounds. Here's a neat site for Hammond organ lovers:

Last European Grundig was assembled in Portugal-
Satellit 700 until around 1995 .
Grundig (Germany) was owned by Philips for a few years and they lost an
arm and a leg -very big and costly mistake.
Grundig (Germany) is still around last I heard, making broadcasting
equipment for studios. How sad...
