Eton E1 Recall
Well, I think we should give Eton a little credit here. (1) They
fessed up to a problem [they did not do so with the Sat800] and (2) they are offering make the owners whole plus provide a "premium" for the inconvenience. They learned from last time, so that's good. CCRadio owners with the failing display problem would have liked similar treatment. They do have a lot to learn, however, about creating false expectations with those availability dates. They'd be much better to overshoot the date by a lot and then be hero's when the radio becomes available "ahead of time." All those missed dates did become comical. I hope they succeed as a company. Not many sw mfgrs remaining. wrote: Ordinarily I wouldn't blink an eye over something like this. Recalls happen. They're a fact of life for all manufacturers. However, Eton's case is different. How many false production deadlines did they announce to their customers and the general public? Was anyone even able to keep track? If you're going to jerk your customers around in such a brazen way for close to a freaking decade, then quality control had better be A-OK when the product finally reaches the customer. So far as I can tell, Eton doesn't have one whit of respect for its customers, which is also probably why it resorts to silly tricks like E1 to sell more radios to the untutored buyer. |

Sangean radios? Dont forget,I did once buy two of those Sangean ccrane
radios.The first one was the AM/FM/Weather Band/a couple of tv channels (I am watching 007 shaken not stirred Live and Let Die James Bond movie on my Radio tv right now,well,sort of anyway) that Stupid Art Bell and Stupid George Noory sometimes tout on C to C (Art Bell and George Noory really ARE STUPID!,THE LQQK STUPID TOO!) and I sent that Sangean piece of Crap BACK to Fortuna,California and then I bought and tried out a Stupid plastic Sangean ATS (or whatever they call it) 909 so-called Stupid plastic piece of Crap radio from Stupid ccrane.I sent that Stupid piece of plastic JUNK! BACK to Fortuna,California too.Please,do not deign to sell me a Stupid radio! cuhulin |

Eton E1 Recall
The ONLY reason the radio is being recalled is because it's MUCH cheaper to
fix the radio than to have to pay MILLIONS to people for burning their house to the ground... "wavetrapper" wrote in message ups.com... Well, I think we should give Eton a little credit here.

If you're going to jerk your customers around in such a brazen way for close to a freaking decade Yeah, I guess we first saw the Satellit 900 ads in, what?, the '96 Passport to World Band Radio? Then, nothing! I think that a lot of us had simply stopped thinkin' about the '900 until The Shortwave Store in Canada in 2000 or 2001 posted something about the forthcoming release of the '900. The real buffoonery began in late 2002 when we started seeing pictures of the E1 in the couple of months preceding CES 2003. It was from there that things really degenerated with multiple, multiple missed release targets. Of course, the '900 as designed by Grundig never saw the light of day: http://www.satellit700.com/900/900all.html http://www.satellit700.com/900/900lcd.html http://www.satellit700.com/900/900label.html The E1 is an entirely different radio altogether. |
