Hi Ken, yes the Performer is model #7-2875A. I say this with some
assurance...it is identified as such in the last photo to load at the Superadio website, and mine had an old "The Performer" label glued to the top when I received it. Thanks. i've developed a real affection for the better GE radios. I'm going to look for this one too. --Ken |

STARMAN,
GE World Monitor Model #7-2990 * Small Short 5"-6" Ferrite Rod Antenna. * Small 1.5" Square Variable Tuning Capacitor * Bad Mechanical Gear Train that developed a 'bump' in the Tuning Systems. = = = Bad design problem a 'smaller' Plastic Gear Squezzed on to a 'larger' Metal Shaft; and eventually the Plastic Gear Cracks: Hence the bump, Bump. BUMP! as you turn the Tuning Knob. TBL: Looked Like the Panasonic RF-2900 - But Was NOT ! FWIW: The older GE World Monitor SW Radio Model P-990A Here is an Example to look at: eBay Auction Item # 3065386811 Also, GE Long Range Model P-783A eBay Auction Item # 3065396802 The these three Categories on "eBay" to Look for these radios a * Collectibles - Radio/Phonograph/TV/Phone - Radios - Transistor Radios http://listings.ebay.com/aw/plistings/category932/ * Computers & Electronics - Radios: CB, Ham & Shortwave http://listings.ebay.com/plistings/l.../category1500/ * Computers & Electronics - Portable Audio/Video - Portable AM/FM Radios http://listings.ebay.com/plistings/l...category16702/ jm2cw ~ RHF .. .. = = = starman = = = wrote in message ... One of the GE 'World Monitors' (circa mid' 80's) was a clone of the Panasonic RF-2900. It had full shortwave coverage along with AM (MW) and FM. It was one of the better portables for it's time, although rather large. |
