Incident At CCrane?
 

http://www.northcoastjournal.com/080405/cover0804.html

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.

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)

Would I buy from CCrane -NO-overpriced

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

Moral Of Story-GREED

Seems to me that Messrs. Justice and Williams got off rather easily.

I like the people at CCrane ok.It is just the Sangean radios I dont care
for.When I worked at a factory in St.Louis that makes wooden jigs for
Aircraft parts in 1961,I owned a battery powered Honeywell radio that
also had a little solar panel on top of the radio.I bought it at a pawn
shop in St.Louis,it was a great little radio.One evening when I got off
work and back to my hotel room (Kingsland Hotel,6668 Delmar Blvd,I doubt
if that old hotel is there anymore,it was so run down even back then,I
paid $25.00 each week for my rent at that old hotel,an old guy by the
last name of Walker ran that hotel) somebody had broken into my room and
stole my radio and a few other things of mine.

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.

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

Those Select-A-Tennas arn't worth a crap! They are as useless as the
Tiny Tennas.I bought one of them when I bought the first Sangean
AM/FM/Weather/TV radio from CCRane that I tried out for a week.I sent
that JUNK back to CCRane and I bought a Sangean ATS 909 radio that I
tried out for a week from CCRane.Those two radios and that antenna
didn't show me anything at all.I sent all that JUNK back to CCRane
company.Dig into your computer files/data or your paper files/data,Bob
Crane and see for yourslelf.What A RIPP OFF!
