While we are talking about MFD, I foud another LRL that looks very similar to some of the devices Carl shows in his project section. This Sumachine appears to be a copy of the Dell Omnitron or an older Vernell model, but with a LCD display and Nimh batteries. This company was started in 2004.

I guess I never noticed them before because they are not actively advertising their equupment, and their main web page shows they are in the business of supplying wholesale metal and plastic parts to industrial clients.
