Hello and greetings from England ,

I have just purchased from a private seller a Sony icf-sw07 . There appears
to be no indicator of the date of manufacture although the handbook says
"copyright 1998" .serial number is 32414.

The handbook contains a leaflet inviting purchase of a new ROM with current
information from F Corp.,Tokyo for about usd20.

The handbook says the ROM has the date printed on it but my ROM merely has a
sticker that says "JBJC".

Does anyone know if this code means anything datewise?

Thanks for reading and any comments

The code is a=1, b=2, to J=0. Your rom chip is the year 02-03 version
or 2002-2003.
