What kind of warranty did you get with your radio? Do you have to
send it back to China for repair?

A dealer's reputation and service is very important to me, so the few
extra dollars I pay to get a Grundig is well worth it. In the past,
when I have had a defective part, all I do is phone Eton Corp. and a
new part is on its way. Also, your unit could go dead in a few weeks
or arrive dead and then you have the added expense of sending it back
to China, or wherever, and wait weeks for a replacement. Then you
wind up paying more than you would have had you originally purchased a
Grundig. Another point - I DO listen to MW, and the Grundig versions
include the higher MW frequencies. And last....... IF you watch for
sales, you can get the Grundig models much cheaper. On December 19th,
2003, I purchased NEW (not refurbished) GRUNDIG PORSCHE G-2000A from
www.normthompson.com for $37.90 plus shipping, WITH FULL GRUNDIG
WARRANTY. They ran the sale for ONE DAY ONLY, like many internet
sites. I watch for these sales on a regular basis.

I have dealt with Eton/Grundig for well over 10 years and have always
gotten excellent service. To save a few dollars and get my radios
direct from China would be, to me, gambling.
