I have 2) SR 1 1) SR2 & 1) SR3. Have not found the SR with
a cassette deck yet. GE also made a big radio in the 60's
that had TRF AM & worked great but ate D-cells up.
I only consider AM as I never go FM, its for hippies.
SR1 & 2 about the same SR2 has edge on fidelity.
My SR3 suffers from bad tuning pot & seems to be common
with them. Otherwise its an OK radio but not a 1 or 2.

Most majors in the states made HiFi table radios in the 50's til
mid 60's. None had TRF AM that I remember. Zenith did for years
build a rig with PTO FM tuning but the AM was just a cap tuned
AA5. Fidelity was great but AM just average. I have one of them
also. IIRC those PTO Zeniths & car radios were the only PTO sets
that Joe Six Pack was exposed to.
Fun subject, wish someone would build a real AM radio again.
