Default 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...

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

They discharge themselves if you don't use them.

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

http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/2023.html
$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. "

Heh, Yeah, I've got one of those. Only it doesn't have a plug that fits.
Need to call up Universal Radio...

Thanks,

Dave,

For "Fixed" Location Radio Listening and Use consider building a
"D" Battery External Power Supply for your Sony ICF-SW7600GR
Radio. Buy the Four (4) "D" Battery Holder at RadioShack or
order-on-line. Get the right size DC Input Plug and wire the Holder
to the Plug. For Normal Everyday Radio Listening : A set of Four
(4) "D"Batteries should last about Six (6) Months or more in the
Sony ICF-SW7600GR Radio.
* Four (4) "D" Battery Holder
RadioShack Catalog # 270-396
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062245
* 8-Pack D Enercell® Alkaline Batteries
RadioShack Catalog # 23-880
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062187
Leave the Four (4) "AA" Batteries in the Sony ICF-SW7600GR
Radio -and- When the External "D" Battery Pack is plugged into
the Radio the Internal Batterys are Switched--Out-Off.

NOTE - The Sony ICF-SW7600GR Radio normally requires
6 VDC or Four (4) "AA" Batteries.
