Only radios I tote or the radios I buy at the thrift stores and
fleamarkets and junk shops and I tote them home and there they sit.

Congratulatiuons - that was quite a deal for $2.00

That was a great find,dxAce.does the Superadio II work real good? I just
heard on my radio the Sears store (it is about 275 footsteps across
Highway 80,South of me at Metrocenter Mall www.metromalljackson.com
the Goodwill store is about seven tenths of a mile South of me,a couple
of blocks South of Metrocenter Mall) is open today in Jackson.

That's what I paid for mine at an estate sale. I liked it so well I sold
my Super III in a garage sale for $20. RM~





Hi Rob

So are you saying the GE Super Radio II {2} is the best one GE makes for
shortwave??

Can you please elaborate on why the radio impressed you so much? What are
the features that make this radio still talked about today?

Thanks ahead
Lucky

It's good for BCB AM DX-ing; that's what it's designed for.

Let me find a Superadio II over there at the Goodwill store for a couple
of dollars and I will buy it too.

It works quite nicely. I already had a Superadio III.

Went back to the thrift store today and picked up a Radio Shack AM tuneable loop
antenna in as new condition for $1.00.

I have the Super 1 (7-2880a) and it beat the socks off of my early (I
assume it's an early one since I have had it for about 10 yr) Super3. The
one pulls in MW stations that the three wasn't even getting. Never use it
for FM so can't evaluate the FM side
As near as I can tell there are only minor differences between the one and
two, the two has a tweeter which the one's do not. The very early one (mine)
does not have external antenna connections while the later ones and the two
do.
I also have Radio Shacks attempt to copy the GE Super and it isn't even in
the race, actually it sounds like a radio with a squelch that is set quite
deep, it's just another nice sounding portable that's good for local use
only. RM~

I dont remember if it was the Superadio I or the Superadio II,but the
Sears store at Metocenter Mall just across Highway 80 from me used to
sell them.I think it was the Superadio I's that Sears used to sell.I
sure do wish now I had bought one of them.I dont remember the price tag
on them,I think it was somewhere around about thirty five dollars.
