Hi Will and everybody else.

I realize that from an economic standpoint, it's a throwaway item, but the
problem is that there are very few radios that are built as well as the
Super Radio 2 was, although its extreme sensitivity was probably its
demise.  Anyway, I figured that I would probably end up spending more to
repair it than I paid for it originally, and if I could just pick up
another one, I would.  I might get a Super Radio 3, although I wasn't as
impressed with my sister's radio (the Super Radio 3) as I was with the
Super Radio 2.  I suppose I will end up just buying a Super Radio 3 and
calling it good at that, but if I can somehow fix the "2" I would like
to.  Does anyone know how to get a hold of schematics and other
documentation for that radio?

73, de Lou K2LKK
