Hey guys-
Complete & total SW rookie here. Today I was given a rarely-used GE shortwave radio model 7-2990A today from a neighbor who was cleaning out his mother-in-law's house to sell. It's in perfect shape and I'm excited to have it.

I know nothing about this radio, or how to operate it, or SW at all. I'm all over the www reading about SW in general, but I would love to get a copy (or a PDF?) of the original manual so I can figure out the knobs, etc. Would also love to know more about this radio's shortfalls, things to improve, etc.

I'm in SoCal. You can reach me directly (probably the best way) at: forsaleinfl at aol dot com

Thanks for any info/tips/advice!
