Spent the afternoon re-furb'ing a GE Superadio I that I picked up yesterday.

Not much to look at, but after I got the dial back on track, and cleaned it up
a bit it performs nicely.

Antenna is nice and straight, but the markings around the volume and tone
controls are pretty much worn away.

Guess this will be my out back, kick back and smoke a nice cigar radio this
coming summer.

Didn't you buy a Superadio at a thrift store a few years ago, or was it
a bicycle, or both?

I've picked up a lot of neat stuff at the 'thrift store' over the years.

Also, check IF alignment.
I found a 7-2940B that had been dunked in latex paint and then wrapped in a
bag.
After cleaning it sounded ok but average sensitivity. I did a little
alignment and it's now as good as my SRIII, except for bass.

Steve - you suck! :-)

Isn't that two of them for you?

One day - one day I'll get me one of those. That would be a real nice
addition with my GE P-780

Have fun with that piece you dog.

I have a GE P-780 E radio.
I bought it at a Goodwill store a bunch of years ago for two or three
dollars.It doesn't work, it wasen't working when I bought it.I don't
know how to repair radios.I will keep it anyway.

I have a GE Superadio too, I reckon it is a Superadio I, but it doesn't
say Superadio anything on it.I bought it new at a Service Merchandise
store.It still works ok.

Aah! you are onto the finer things in life Ace. Breaking in new radio
outback in the garden in summer, a fine Cuban cigar = sublime! and may
I add a goblet of excellent cognac.
