    GE Superadio

    Anyone know anything about these? Basically a big AM/FM transistor radio with good sound and a hot AM receiver (for BCB-DX).

    I'm kinda looking for a decent, cheap "table radio" and heard good things about this radio years ago. They're no longer made, but seem plentiful on the used market. Any version better than the others? Better idea for a radio?

    What are you looking for in a receiver - portability, selectivity?

    Is AM BCB DX the primary mission?

    Don't know anything about them myself but I found this site which has some info that might be useful.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Thinking about a "cabin radio." Sounding good without being huge would be primary. It'd be a kick if it was good at BCB-DX, tho.

    Interesting. Thanks! That pretty much echoes what I'd heard.

    The superadio II is the best according to guru W7NPN.

    We have an extra one lying around here, which I'll send to you when I find it, Rob. It might take a few weeks.

    I had one of the earlier models, it quit working when it slid off the roof.

    Sounds like a defective unit to me. Did you make a warranty claim on it?
