this sound problem happened all of a sudden. it's a mystery. i took it
to a sony dealer here and thye said something about a part being
corroded. i didnt junderstand, and they were the least interested in
dealing with it. sorry i cant be more specific about what the problem
might be.

Did your ICF 2002 just go completely dead? If so, it may not be hard to
fix. Tell us more.

I want to buy a portable shortwave radio ... my beloved 20 year old
Sony ICF 2002 has finally died and I can't find anyone who will repair
it.
I'd like to get another Sony ... I really like the SW7600 GR but
can't find it for sale anywhere ...
Actually I can't find any Sony SW radios anywhere (I'm in
Canada) ... have Sony left the portable SW market entirely?
What would you folks recommend then ... for about $150?.
Is the Grundig G5 any good?
Many thanks.
