Absolutely love the sound quality, but I remember a couple of family members having these, or perhaps the first models, when I was a kid. It's the classic handle, that funny, square on/off button on the top, and the large, aluminum tuning nob that brings back some memories... Reminds me of the late seventies/early eighties.
That is a good find. I still have my Super Radio I. I got mine a few years before the II came out. The radio was popular with the AM DX'ers. DX'ers are those that like to hunt out distant AM stations. The radio had great sensitivity and more important, selectivity. FM sensitivity and selectivity was very good also. The big speaker in the front had a nice sound.

Mine has developed a problem and I have lost the AM band. One of the these days I will open it up and figure out what has gone bad.

Good luck with the radio.
