Interesting.. & settled out of court.

"
" Sangean settled its part of the case after only a few days of
testimony. The terms of the settlement agreement were not disclosed.
Speaking from his office in El Monte, Calif., last week, Kevin Wang
would say only that it allowed his company and C. Crane to get back to
doing business together, and that he was happy for that. "

Sangean doubtless has deep pockets..

Thanks for posting this; &
it's obviously a Very small community.

Would I buy from CCrane -NO-overpriced

Would I trust Chris Justice-came across in article as HONEST thief.

C Crane does have excellent customer service
however their prices for radios and similar things
are rather on the high side. I put them in the same
merchandise/marketing class as Brookstone, LL Bean,
New England Candle Company and similar retailers.

I would like to buy from C Crane and similar "high end"
catalog retailers, but when I can go to Grove Enterprises
and similar outlets who carry the same products for often
30% less.....guess where I'm going to shop!

It's like buying gasoline. Real-World example: The Shell station
this afternoon had Regular going for $2.41. Right across the
street there was a Citgo station selling Regular for $2.32

Take a guess where I filled up at this afternoon! (grin)

C. Crane Co. has been exceptionally quiet about the high failure rate
of the digital frequency display of the CCRadio.

My old "standard" GE SRll and Superadio 3 have no problems at all.

Until they acknowledge that and have a no-charge fix for such an
obvious problem, they will not get anymore business from me.

Likewise, the over-hyped Super ATS-909, from Radiolabs, they should
have left the narrow filter alone. The stock ATS-909 was a little deaf
off the internal whip, but Radiolabs went too far in modding the radio
out IMHO.

I prefer radios with the old style mechanical analog dials and tuning
anyday,even if they do drift a little bit.My old radios hardley drift
enough to worry about at all.Sometimes,old technology is better than new
technology.I am going to buy a new CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) HDTV set at
Cowboy Maloney's Electric City store next year.I am not the least bit
interested in LED's and stuff like that.I like the old technology.

They are Sangeans, which are notorious for this fault. My 'Q' radio
also suffered from their disappearing display.

Ken.

Very interesting story. Justice sounds like a real piece of work....
