picked another teleton up cheap recently,
interesting box has loads of features and good build quality.
this box has a couple of aka`s citizen being the one that pops up the most.
i did a bit more digging online for the teleton brand,apparently it was the brand name used by mitsubishi electronics in the eighties for europe.

Citizen was famous in Europe in the mid to late 80's.
Great score bison!
I ve found a low resolution pic of a citizen ,
maybe the aka is the one pictured below .

Nice snag Bison,
Across the pond here in Canada, they're AKA's as Candle and Citizen. I was unaware that they had Mitsubishi as a parent corp!
thanks for the info!

the same box was also marketed under the `general` brand (great name for a box)in germany,so many aka`s...confusing
