In this case, yes and no. Drake built the SW8 at their plant
in Franklin, OH. Grundig/Eton came along and bought
the design, and contracted out to a third party in China
to manufacture the Sat 800.

That said, Drake refurbished or inspected Sat 800's are
the ones you really want.

Does the fact that the Satellit 800 and the SW8 have the same
reception circuitry mean a third-party company makes the internals
and
that Grundig and Drake simply slap their name on the product?

I'm probably way off on base about this, but I was just curious.

Thanks,
