I used the term "creation" because this radio had nothing much to do
with the well known (and highly regarded) German firm Grundig, except
for the name.


FWIW, I don't think there is much of Grundig europe left after the
various operating units were sold off. After looking at their product
line my impression is that they are just another small consumer
electronics company that sells goods manufactured in asia. There is
little germanic about them that I could see.


You are correct in that the components did come from many
countries; though it appears from looking on the inside that the
majority of them did come from China.
