Knut; Sound is "tinny"? The 2001 sounds tons better than the 2010, it
has a real speaker, a decent amplifier, and bass/treble controls. I was
disappointed with my 2010 versus the 2001 in terms of sound.

I do agree with your other points, though. A 2001 will go for $50-$100 on
ebay.

The ICF-2001 was among the first digital radios back in '83. For the time
a
hot item. If you want , you can say this was the radio that "started it
all" - the generation of digitally operated/PPL radios. But not on par
with
the next-generation ICF-2001D (also called ICF-2010) , by now a legendary
performer...

In the ICF-2001 , the Keypad "hangs" after some years , SSB switch
(contacts) wear out , sound is "tinny" , the set is somewhat cumbersome to
operate ....

I would not spend much today on this model , but it's quite nice all the
same.

Paul, just MHO, but the 2001 (a 2010 here in the States) I bought
new in the mid-80s still works perfectly also, and I use it
fairly often. :-) The last time I looked on Ebay, 2001s were
selling pretty well, so letting it be bid on worldwide might
be worth your bother. Either way, good luck!

Ken,

It is the ICF-2001D that is the same as the 2010, not
the ICF-2001. ICF-2001s show up with some frequency
on E-bay, and seem to go for something less then $100.
I don't think it is worth the hassle for the OP to
offer world-wide.
