GE superadio III score $5

You got a good radio. Tune in a World Series game on AM and just feel lucky!

I have a Superadio II and it is great. Mine is still in mint condition but not currently working. I switched it on one day and the AM band was nothing but static. I believe the Field Effect Transistor in the RF stage is out. I have heard this is not uncommon. When working it was the best radio for DXing and high fidelity in a portable. Plus the I and II versions have that great Seventies portable radio look. I keep mine in the original box with the packing and instructions. I bought it new in 1991. I may just have to get it down and try to fix it.

I have an early Radio Shack version of the SuperRadio that looks like it is just a re-branded version of the GE. As far as I can tell it is identical. The AM section works great but the FM is scratchy whenever you move the tuning dial. The FM works, it's just noisy when you tune it. I also have a couple of the later model GE SuperRadios. (My wife thinks that I have a radio fetish. Guilty as charged, and always have been!)

If anyone would like to have the Radio Shack version, make a donation to AK (or become a Subscriber if you are not already a Subscriber) and I will send the radio to you at no charge. I will pay for the shipping. The amount doesn't matter, that is entirely up to you and I don't want or need to know. Your word is good enough simply that you did. Ideally it would be nice to see it go to someone that doesn't already have one of these radios and is willing to work with the FM problem or just live with it as it is. I don't want to turn this into a "Dollars and Sense" thing. I just would like to see it go to a good home. Send me a PM if you are interested. I will edit this post and state that it has been taken if it does go.
