Does Sony still make SW radios?
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. |

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

Maybe the speaker failed or the headphone jack contacts are corroded. Try plugging in head phones and see if they work. If they do it might fix the speaker problem. In fact the headphone jack of my Sony 2001 (about the same age) just recently fell all apart. To use the radio without headphones you have to solder together a couple of contacts inside. If the headphone jack hasn't fallen apart, cleaning it is a good idea. Put a drop of isopropyl alcohol or contact cleaner on a headphone plug, plug it in and take it out several times. |

the sound went ... it's very faint ... even with the volume cranked up. it picks up stations just fine ... but i can barely hear them. 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.
