Default German Cossor.

I've got a Cossor CR1350T ( see pic ) marked as 'Made in W. Germany' and with the VHF band marked UKW as would be expected.

I'm curious here; did Cossor have these made by a German firm on their behalf or did they have their own factory over there ? Was there a Philips connection at all ?

As an aside, this is a nicely made little radio but is let down by two points; 1. the tiny 2" loudspeaker and 2. the wavechanger on the rear. The scales are marked 1, 11 and 111 ( L/M/VHF respectively ) but the sliding switch on the rear is marked 11, 1, 111. This is very annoying until you get used to it.
