[Swprograms] S350DL $100 Price = No Headphones?

["William Martin" <wgmartin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just received my S350DL from Sieglers & Co. and it's working fine --
I have WBCQ on right now with it as I write this (an old repeat
program replacing the regular Allan Weiner WorldWide, 0100 UT
3/11/06). However the package did NOT include the Grundig
headphones that did come with the S350 and S350DL in the past.
The box still says the headphones are included, and the Sieglers
catalog entry says that the headphones come with it, so I have
an e-mail in to Sieglers customer service and will see what transpires.

The people at RadioIntel.com say that they heard that the lower
price was achieved, at least in part, by deleting the headpones.
But the factory did not mark out the relevant lines on the box
and their info to dealers still said that the headphones were
included, at least back when they provided the data for
catalog descriptions.

I just looked again at the www.etoncorp.com website and
neither the S350 or S350DL specs say that headphones are
included now, for the $100 US list in the "United States"
section of the site. The S350DL in the Canadian section,
at $149 Can$, DOES say that headphones are included.

So we shall see if the dealers (& Eton) are obligated to provide
the headphones to purchasers who bought before this change
was promulgated.

73, Will
