This little radio has really good sound for what it is and sounds pretty comparable to a vintage Hi-Fi radio. In fact when I first saw it on the shelf I thought it was one of GE's Super Radios (which it may very well be) until I saw the VFD clock dial on the radio. It also has a backlit tuner dial that still works when you turn the radio on using the mode switch.
I have some pictures of the unit in question posted below.

I'll bet the radio uses the same multi-purpose IC chip, as the Superadio uses. It's almost the entire radio on one chip, less the front end. GE used it in all their AM-FM mono radios, from the lowest priced hand-held to the Superadios.
It's amazing, that the chip can put out that kind of power, The radios sound great!
