That's really a shame-Grundig USED to be a pretty good brand-Solid German engineering & craftsmanship. Does EVERYTHING have to be cheap Chinese junk nowadays ? I maintain there's STIILL a market for a good AM/FM/SW table set, that offered excellent sound, good sensitivity, & was nice to look at, & had good tactile response, too-Part of the pleasure of those old German table sets were the big, beefy, counterweighted knobs-& the solid, authoritative feel of the ivory plastic bandswitch buttons when you pressed it to change from FM to SW-& were greeted w/a satisfying "Thunk", like a vault door closing. You felt like you were dealing w/a SERIOUS radio-one that would not fail to impress. These ugly little lumps of silver/red/black plastic are pretty p*ss-poor substitutes for The Real Thing, IMHO.
