I think the newer generation Superadio, the one with the more streamlined cabinet, uses a frequency synthesizer, instead of the old time tuning gang and oscillator-mixer type design. It's possible, that the analog tuning knob and indicator, just drives a voltage control pot.
The problem with mine, when tuned to a station, has a whistle and tunes extremely broad, even when the selectivity switch is set to sharp. It started doing it by itself, not since new. It seems, like a decoupling cap problem.
FM seems alright.
