OK, this is getting cornfusing so I bring it to the tribal committee.

Apparently Amazon doesn't even sell this anymore - or out of stock.

But what I'm finding is the RCA/GE SR3 is modestly priced, correct?
Model number 7-2887 - this is the one a few of us have been speaking
about.

What I am seeing is that there is also a RCA RP7887 AM/FM Super
Portable Radio that costs $149.99 - - - What's up with that? It looks
somewhat smaller and compact but it didn't have the feature to enlarge
the pic so I couldn't tell if the controls were in the same place as
the SR3

I can't remember anyone mentioning this specific radio in here before,
is this somewhat new and shame on you all for no one speaking of or
doing a review on it before anyone else spent their own money. ;-)

That radio is exactly the same as the GE SRIII.. and can be bought for under
$50 new from any number of online sites.

Oh really? They threw me with the different model numbers and when I
saw the price tag I assumed it was a newer version. I wonder why it
had that price tag on it. Thanks Brenda.

I bought one new at Wal-Mart for $29.95 last year.
Also found one at Value Village for $5 in scruffy condition but it works
fine.
Anyone know of a downloadable dial face template to make tuning a bit more
accurate. 'Really a shame they messed up on this part ..... Nice sounding
and sensitive set.

Good deal Justis, I wouldn't have thought of WalMart - that would sure
save me time/fuel driving around looking for a thirty/fourty dollar
radio. I know I can make it up there this week some time to check it
out. I haven't been in a WalMart in ages.

I don't know if giving them a call to check their stock will achieve
anything. At times it seems they don't know just what they sell. They may
even be sold out.
The box mine came in was a little ratty looking but everything inside was
"A" ok.
I have the service manuals for all three "SuperRadio's" if anyone needs a
copy.
In WinZip:
GE 7-2880A "SR1" ...... About 4 meg.
GE 7-2885 A/B/C "SR2" ...... About 5 meg
GE 7-2887A "SR3"...... About 2 meg
GE 7-2990A ...... 3.9 meg ......

I still don't understand,,, just what is supposed to be so special about
the General Electric Superadios? Because of the antenna? speaker sound?
Circuitry? What?
I have a lot of old, old, old strictly AM radios (tube type and
transistors) which pull in long distance AM radio stations as good or
better than my General Electric 7-2880B radio.

There are Yahoo groups, etc. Usually the L.O. trimmer needs a little
touch and then the numbers line up.
