ELFA,

* * Tecsun GEM of China (PRC)

NOTE: I am Unaware of any Taiwanese 'commection' to ETON Corp.

FWIW: ETON Corp. is very 'selective' about
what infromation it releases to the public.

Does anyone know what Grundig's participation in the design of radios bearing
their name is?

It's my impression that several years ago, they got completely
out of the radio design/manufacturing business. As part of a
financial restructuring process, they sold the rights to use
their name as it applies to radios only to Lextronics (now Eton).
Eton, an American marketing company, comes up with the radio
ideas and has a Taiwanese engineering company do the actual
engineering.
They in turn, have a Chinese company, TecSun actually manufacture
the radios.

Am I partially right? I can't seem to find any website that
gives the actual story.

thanks
