AC adapter for Sony ICF7600GR?
 
Anyone know where I can get one? It has a special-sized socket that I am
having trouble matching, so I imagine Sony builds an adapter especially
designed for the radio. Amazon doesn't have it, so I'm not sure where to
look...

Any help is appreciated.

I have two of them and never use them any longer, since NiMH batteries got so
good. Just a suggestion, that you're better off with batteries. Buy extra.

I have extra batteries, but would rather save them (for a while at least.)
Would you consider selling me one (or both) of your AC adapters?

Just wondering...

I don't recall the socket being special, just one of the 3 flavors of
coaxial. If it's a big deal, I can go dig mine up. [I just use
rechargable batteries.]

What would you ask for your adapter? I'm looking for something I can leave
plugged in, and save the batteries for whenever I take the portable out
somewhere...

Thanks,

Dave

$19.95
"The optional AC adapter for the Sony ICF-SW7600GR was the Sony
AC-E60HG. However, Sony discontinued this AC adapter. The newer
replacement Sony AC adapter, called the AC E60A emits interference
(RFI) making it unsuitable for use with world band radios. Sony does
not currently offer a satisfactory AC adapter for the Sony
ICF-SW7600GR.

"Universal has found a source for a suitable power supply. The MW
41-680 provides the correct the voltage and current. We have added a
voltage regulator to it and applied the appropriate plug. It works very
well the the ICF-SW7600GR. This adapter is not made by Sony. "

You need more than that -- you need one which is regulated and
filtered. When I bought a RS regulated and filtered adapter a few
years ago, there still was buzz on MW (even though there wasn't on
shortwave).

Again, Universal has a compatible adaptor.

Go to your neighborhood Radio Shack.

Be sure you know the voltage and amperes you need. Once the AC adaptor
is selected, the salesperson can choose from a large number of plug
sizes to fit your socket, and give you the appropos plug. (Take your
radio, so they can try the plug in the actual socket.)

You don't have to save rechargeables. Just charge them.

They discharge themselves if you don't use them.

Tried that, just to save time. They don't have a plug which fits the
7600GR, although they come close. That's when I decided to look for the
real thing...

I find that those cheap ones that have all sorts of differnt size adapters
work fine, and only cost a few bucks
