Hello Everyone,

I understand that the icf-sw100s has a problem with the clamshell
lid/ribbon cable. Sony apparently corrected the problem in October of
'97.

1) Is it possible to identify a pre-revision unit by serial number
alone? Corollary: is there a "birthdate" sticker on Sony products that
details exactly when a particular unit left the factory? If it's any
help, the unit I was looking at had a serial number of 27180.

2) Is there still a vendor for the repair kits that Sony offered?

Part no. = X-3372-340-1
Desc. = kit mcb, flexible

I poked around the Sony site a bit: nothing. I'm assuming the kits are
long out of stock, but please do tell me if there's a vendor that still
stocks these.

Finally, is there a vendor left with *new* stocks of these radios? I
know I'm really reaching here, but might there be a warehouse in
Nebraska with a few of these laying around, collecting dust? I know
it's not likely, but still... ¬_¬

If anyone has one of these for sale (post '97 revison _only_ please) do
let me know. I can't promise anything, but tell me what you have,
condition, price, and we'll go from there.

Well, I think that's everything. Any infomation or insights would be
greatly appreciated.


Cheers,

Flash
