Several years ago I bought a GE Super Radio from our local K-Mart. (I
don't remember if it is II or III) for about $50. I don't know if they
still carry it or not. Interestingly enough just a few weeks ago I saw
one in our local Radio Shack. I didn't check the price, but I did
notice that it no longer bore the GE trademark/logo. Apparently some
other company had its logo on it - I didn't check exactly what it was.
But the radio was definintely a Super Radio. Hope this helps. (I love
mine. Batteries seem to last forever, and reception is terrific.)

Superadio III now bears the RCA logo (IIRC, both GE and RCA consumer
electronics are both owned by Thomson Consumer Group of France (built of
course in China). This could have changed yet again by now.

The replacement E1 is indeed performing quite well. I'm really surprised at
how well the AM/MW performs without a directional antenna.

I, too am thinking of picking up the twin coil ferrite from CCrane to use
out in my shop, which is a steel container that makes a wonderful Faraday
cage. I figure if I mount the antenna on top of the shop, attached to a
pan/tilt setup to use as a rotator, all mounted under a plastic bowl to keep
the rain off, it should make almost an ideal setup for not only DX but just
everyday program listening (so I can hear more than one station without 20dB
over S-9 noise level..

If you're not totally in need of the extended AM band what you might consider
doing is saving up a bit more and try to get an SRII on eBay, or anywhere else.

A much better radio, better calibration, etc.

I got very lucky and got one mint for around $6, and toying with the idea of
getting an SR1 just for the fun of it and selling off my SRIII.

I'm not really a MW DX'er, but do enjoy looking around from time to time.

This retailer has them for just over $45.00 plus shipping:

If you're thinking about purchasing a new Super Radio, better not wait
too long. In their infinite wisdom, Thomson Consumer Electronics
(which owns RCA) has seen fit to discontinue the SR III--hence the
astronomically high prices for this radio on eBay and Amazon. (I
believe a new in the box RCA Super Radio recently sold for over
$100.00 on eBay.)

There's a seller on eBay that had a stock of new RCA Super Radios
( without the retail box) for sale recently for $26.00 plus shipping.
Although all of these radios have been sold, you might want to check
this seller's listings from time to time in case any more are offered
for sale in the near futu
