Dear Mr. Clam,

I own several copies of all three versions of the GE Superadio (though
I can't seem to find the original ones which are in my basement,
destined probably never to see the light of day again). Probably the
best performer (by a miniscule amount) is the Superadio II though it
has the worst build-quality of the three, at least with regard to my
samples.

You can buy a new Superadio III from Amazon for about $40.00 or so, and
from other sources, certainly for no more than $60.00. When used with a
suitable antenna, such as the C. Crane Twin-Coil Antenna or a random
long-wire, you will get sparkling performance and excellent sound
quality.

It's a pity that this set does not incorporate a synchronous detection
circuit which would really add to reception quality. But that, in
addition to poor dial accuracy, no dial light, and mediocre
build-quality, are its only faults and, at its price, they can be
"forgiven."

Best,

Joe

P.S. Don't be tempted by the CCRadio which was touted as "superior" to
the GE Superadio. It ain't !!!

I've seen the Superadio III selling in franchised (not company owned) Radio
Shack stores for $50 new. Franchised Radio Shacks are mostly in small towns
and rural regions.

If your radio's dial scale needle is off kilter too much and if you can
get inside of the radio easy enough,you can slide that needle on that
string to sort of get it aligned about right.If the string is a little
bit too loose and slips too much,use some violin resin on the string.
