Sony shortwave repair, and reception question--
Hi folks--
I have two Sony shortwave receivers that need repair--one is the ICF SW-007, the battery bay on that one has a bad spring mechanism, and keeps popping open--I have to tape it shut with duct tape. Less importantly, the top section of the antenna broke off, and I'd also like to have the antenna replaced/repaired if possible. My other receiver (forget the nomenclature, but it's the "weird looking" small portable that came out four or five years ago) has a broken volume dial. I dropped the radio on its side a few months ago, and the volume dial became jammed so it couldn't be advanced easily. I fiddled around with it some, and proceeded to break it entirely--the volume dial came out of the slot entirely, and into my hands. Now, the radio is continually on the *highest* volume level, and now there's no way to turn it down, since the volume dial is no longer in its slot. So, I'd like to have both radios repaired if I can--they both fit my needs (small and portable and easy to pack/travel with), neither of them are "throwaway" radios by any means, and to me, worth fixing. However, I couldn't find anywhere on the Sony website where they listed radio repair facilities. I also checked Universal Radio's website, and I think they said they no longer accept Sony radios for repair. Hopefully, someone here can help with this, and suggest someplace where I can send my radios for repair. Lastly, I've noticed the reception on all of my favorite stations (WWCR, Radio Havana, etc.) is *lousy*, and has been so for the past couple of weeks. Is it the time of year, or something else? Just wondering. Thanks in advance, Jean in SE VA |

Goto http://groups.yahoo.com/ and search for a group named "SW07" or
"icf-sw07". Also do a search for "icfsw07" parts to fix it yourself: http://www.partsolver.com "Jean Barto" wrote in message ...
