Greetings All!
I went to the local thrift shop the other day and found a radio to
bring home. Looking at it at first I thought it was a Sony but found
it was Sears. I cleaned it up and was surprised at it's performance.
It compares pretty favorably to my Radio Shack DX-396 on shortwave and
medium wave especially when attaching an external antenna.
It is like a small boom box type being short but long with four
speakers and great audio. It has a fine tuning knob that greatly nulls
out unwanted signals on both bands. I haven't really tried the FM band
yet or the recorder it has.
I cannot find anything about this unit anywhere I have looked; not
even Ebay. Anyone have or had one who can give me some info on this
one?
I appreciate any help on this one. Have a great week and great DX! Jon
in Upstate South Carolina.

Congratulations - it's a lot of fun to get a radio for next to
nothing, hook it up and actually hear good audio!

As I'm sure you know boomboxes with tape recorders were sold in great
numbers under many brand names from the early 1980's through the
mid-1990's. As a group they do a pretty good job on both AM and FM
stations although analog dial accuracy was usually way off. The few
that had shortwave coverage usually compressed a lot of spectrum into
one band so tuning could be fiddly and images usually abound. I'm sure
Sears would be able to cross check the long reference number if you
are looking for a manufacturing date.

Thanks for the Ebay finds! I must have been too specific in my
search. You would think that as I even cut it to Sears SR-2100 I would
have come up with something. I looked at all three listings and the
one I have is much shorter with a single cassette. It does say on my
radio Sears SR-2100 series, so I guess mine is just a different one in
the series. Thanks a bunch! Jon.

Greetings! Thanks for the input. The band spread is a might strange.
2.3 MGZ to 7.0 MGZ band 1. 7.0 MGZ to 23 MGZ on band 2. With the fine
tuning it is pretty easy to separate signals.
Thanks for the input and I may just challenge a Sears' store after the
hollidays. Thanks! Jon.- Hide quoted text -

Their parts department probably has a cross reference. Good luck.
