I had a BEKO TV once; and only ONCE. What a load of rubbish.
I agree, GRUNDIG is NOT the same german Grundig anymore. Now it’s just the name bought from a turkish company – and as you said:
The quality is poor and cheap crap! It is not the german quality Grundig it was before the brand went down …
Do you remember Grundig “Fine Arts” components or the “Space fidelity”? That was the origin Grundig … Goodbye.
GRUNDIG is’nt Grundig anymore… it’s a sad story about a company well known for the high quality products over many decades… at the end, there are only good memories and the brand name which was sold-out…..
The same thing recently happened to BLAUPUNKT, another company well known for their early and high quality products… They have given up TV’s abt 15 years ago after a deal with GRUNDIG.. they continued indeed with car radio and navigation systems… now the brand name was also sold-out and the knew owner is only interested in the brand name… but what you might get is not what you might think it is…
