Subj : Re: XRF PROBLEMS To : Holger Granholm From : Allen Prunty Date : Sat Aug 20 2016 06:09 am -> I have always had a preference for german radio, TV, household -> appliances and whiteware, since my father was employed by Siemens, as -> engineer for planning/building power and high voltage stations/lines. Strange this just came through tonight... Germans make good stuff... made to last and made to be repaired. When I buy I usually look for Braun, Miele, Bosch... all stuff that will last a lifetime if taken care of. -> I still have all radio sets made by NordMende, Grundig and Siemens, -> until the latest two TV sets that became of asian manufacture. No German TV will work in America. We don't make anything in America anymore. -> My HiFi gear is all american, with a Harman Kardon 630, a d:o cassette -> deck, a couple of AR-3a's, and a d:o turn table. Harman Kardon is good but I thought they were made overseas. Not much time to address everything nice hearing back from you. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: LiveWire -=* Louisville, KY USA *=- LiveWireBBS.Com (1:2320/100) .
