Many of the Philips 90RLxxx radio sets were produced by Coronet Industries Ltd. in Hong Kong, Asia. This is also true for this Philips 90RL412 set. Philips simply ordered these sets, payed the bill and sold the items in numerous countries, including The Netherlands.

At RMorg these sets are listed as manufactured by Philips Österreich, or even Philips Deutschland. Only one set (the Philips 90RL136) is listed as produced by "Philips Hong Kong". This is not the case, but the country field content is at least correct.

Is there some logical reasoning behind this? Or is "Country" just one of the countries were the set was sold, and "Manufacturer" the name of the sales organisation in this specific country?

Of course I did study the "Help screen" that can be accessed using the blue "Info Knopf". It simply defines the "Maker" (or Manufacturer) as:

< Maker
Fill in just the first word. You will later get a selection if there are several possibilities. >

For "Country" there is no explanation at all, it may be the Country of Origin, Country of Destination, Country were the set was sold, Country where the set owner lives, or even the Country where the set was manufactured. I simply have no idea. I think the third definition (Country where the set was sold to the end-user) is often used in the RMorg database.

So my question is: can anybody clarify the meaning of Country and Manufacturer in relation to the Philips 90RL412 Portable Radio Set?
