Yep, Elgin had its fair share of financial probs. They made fantastic watches here in the states until some point in the very early 60's. After that, movements and cases were made in France and a far cry from the quality they once had. Still, Elgin made some remarkable radios. Bulova Watch Co. also offered radios, but while Bulova made some dandy watches, their radios for the most part were lacking.
