That why I like fixing up transistor radios. They respond to TLC well. And they live a sheltered life around here. Gave several to a good home(s). Been having fun with the SRI set on AM 740. It cleaned up nice. Have it on the nightstand. Have the SR III set on WQXR. I have a rule to keep my collection at 5 radios. Not doing so good. I have the following:
Zenith Transoceanic 3000
Zenith 755
GE P780
GE P865, the granddaddy to the Superadios
Super Radio I (2)
Super Radio III
Sure is fun fixing up them. Got a SR I thats going to the Salvation Army. They had one that was not for sale and was playing in the store. Someone stole it. Can you beleive that? They run FM only. Works well on FM.
While I like the SRI, Good radio but the SRIII is better on FM. The III gets that one station I like. The SR I doesnt get it as well. Still is a keeper!!! eric
