Hello Gary,

May I suggest that you purchase a new Sony ICF-SW7600GR receiver which
you can purchase very inexpensively - $130 or less.

For the moment, keep your 7600D.

I believe you will find the '7600GR to be a superior receiver than the
'D model (if only for the synchronous selectable sideband circuitry).

That said, if you really like the 'D model, and it has some sentimental
value to you, later, when you are feeling "flush," you can then look to
having it fixed or restored. It doesn't hurt to have more than one
short wave radio! (I still have my old Lafayette HE-10 radio and I
still use it occasionally.)

Remember, though, that these portable receivers are not really designed
to be repaired. I'm told that at best you'll get 10 to 20 years of
regular use of a portable radio and then it is ready for the "scrap
pile." (I have had some portables which didn't even last 5 years! My
two Sony ICF-SW7600G models are 7 and 5 years old respectively and they
still work perfectly. My three 'GR models are 4 and 3 years old. I
figure that it I use them "lightly" [due to having so many none gets
used "heavily"] they will last for many, many years. Am I right? Ask me
in twenty years, assuming I'm still around then!)

Best of luck,

Joe
