Wow! Thanks for the leads…I’m excited to dive in. This entire second tier Asian BBX history is fascinating.
Thanks for the info Mister X! The Lenoxx Sound CT-772G is marked “made in Taiwan” in the above photo. It was manufactured by Unitech. The FCC...
I’ve had quite the unexpected experience researching off-brand BBX’s from the early to mid 1980’s. There were a lot of Asian manufacturers in...
Great link…been reading many stories posted there. Thanks!

GPT works remarkably well for some things, not so well for other stuff. GPT image search for the E901X and corresponding AKA’s is terrible....
I’ve been searching under these other off-brand / second-tier names to find an AKA but no luck so far: Candle Randix Unitech / Unitec GPX York...

GPT says type 4 EQ is a metal tape setting. Is that what you’re referring to? if so, it’s good in that it signals a generally higher-end device....
I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t know what a type 4 EQ is. Would you mind explaining it to me lol.
Here’s a few ads with store names. All from 1984. In addition to the E901X, there’s also an E901. The diff is in the speakers. X model has front...
