I couldn't resist one either, the eBay seller does seem to have started off with a large number of them. These were the last of the line, earlier sets of the same model had included a tuning meter but by the end of production the factory had run out. Then things took a sharp downward turn to the Vega Merlin - big lightweight plasticky thing whose multi-band tuning scale, very like the Selena's, and abundance of Eastern Bloc components are evidence of where it comes from, but which according to its box was "designed and assembled in England". A bit of an ongoing mystery, that one.
