[BC] GE Superadio III

[Bob Barnswatts]

I have a superradio III  this is my 2nd one.  I left the last one outside by the pool for the past 10 years and finally it gave up the ghost.  I guess the rain and dirt finally got to it til it was intermittant and wouldn't go no more.  It played nearly 24 hours a day for 10 years.

The newer one I just bought looks a lot cheaper than the older one but still sounds good....I live near a powerful AM station and it sort of blankets the AM band which is a PITA that I didn't notice to be so bad with the older radio, but nonetheless, pretty good gain - if it had a meter it would be a true 10.
