Here are some 'so-called' GE "Superadio" Model Numbers
they are either Digital / Cassette / Boom Boxes /Radios :
Series - 3-6015 / 3-6025 / 3-6045
Series - 3-5266 / 3-5268 / 3-5280
.
Model # 3-5280 is the so-called GE {Superadio} Cassette
.
Model # 7-2882 is the so-called GE Digital {Superadio} Plus
.
Then there is the 'so-called' GE "Superadio" CUB
Model Number 7-2881 that was 'smaller' than the
GE Superadios and used "C" Batteries
.
NOTE - The Radio Shack Optimus Models #s 12-603
and/ 12-903 may be 'look-a-likes' on the outside
-but- They do not have the GE Superadios Circuity
on the inside [.]

Dear "RHF,"

There were two variants of the original GE Superadio Model 7-2880: the
first one without a strap to hold the batteries in place (they fall
out if the battery cover is even loose) and no antenna screw
terminals, and the second one with both of those improvements.
Otherwise, the two variants are identical and carry the same model
number.

Best,

Joe
