You are right on the money with that one! Their products are excellent, but
once past about 5 to 7 years old, or sometimes sooner, the parts are very
hard to find. This is the one thing that disappoints me with Sony products.

I have some Panasonic products, and even when they were more than 10 years
old, I had less problems to find the parts. I will soon be considering an
HDTV. I like the Sony sets, but I also considering a Panasonic because of
the parts problems after the 5 year period.

I am looking for the battery lid for my ICF 2002. It somehow fell off,

is not available from Sony anymore.

The Sony part number is: 389-1817-00. This is the battery cover lid that
is
on the rear side of the radio.

If anyone would have lid from a scrapper ICF 2002, or even a new lid, I
am
willing to pay for the lid, and the transport of it.


If someone knows of a source, let me know also. I have a ICF-7600D
(euro version of the 2002) that is missing BOTH battery covers.

You've both discovered one of the biggest problems with Sony and some
other Asian electronics brands. They decide when it's time for their
customers to buy a new model by making parts unavailable for the
previous models.
