Collecting the complete Superstar range
Hi All .
I'm really not a collector (famous last words..) , but I do have a few Superstar branded radios and I was thinking about maybe trying to collect them all . The thing is that I seem to be finding more and more of them that I've never seen before . For example . We have this little "1700" . Looks like 3 bands of 40 AM only .
http://www.milanuncios.com/radioaficion ... 657381.htm
I'm sure there's a complete list of all of them somewhere in the net . Off the top of my head I can think of :
Superstar 1700 (See above)
Superstar 2000
Superstar 2400 (just picked one up)
Superstar 2800 (just picked one up)
Superstar 3000 (AM/FM job)
Superstar 3600 (clone of 3900)
Superstar 3900
Superstar 360 (old 1979 version)
Superstar 360 (newer version . Clone of 3900)
Superstar 360FM (mk1 and mk11)
Superstar SSB (home base)
Think that's me out . Are there more ?

Re: Collecting the complete Superstar range
I've been looking for a Superstar 2800 for a long time and my automatic ebay search hasn't ever found one.

But gave up as there's just too many different variants within the range. Ie 40ch am mid band thomas j and 80ch am/fm mid/hi band Thomas j.
I have a few superstars in my collection of radios.
Superstar 3900 hp e f
Superstar 3900 ghp
Superstar 3900 eft
Superstar 3900 silver
Superstar 3900f
Superstar g neptune
Superstar 9900
Superstar 2950 (same as rci 2950)
Superstar force one
Superstar 7000 dx
Superstar 4900b

Re: Collecting the complete Superstar range
That's funny Rob . You've got most of the high ones , and I've got the low ones
Anyway . You're right . Me personally . I would never have taken on the President range . I've seen them , and as you say the list is endless . I've got a few Superstars now as well . But I think you win .
Superstar 360 (79) x 2
Superstar 360 FM x 3 (1 mk1 and 2 mk 2s)
Superstar 3900 (87)
Superstar 2400
Superstar 2800
I have a few of yours , but they're badged Galaxy , or Jopix . Same radios though .
