Looks like Nice wasn't so nice after all.

about to return from holiday in Nice, in France and my camera holdall was
stolen while I was sitting with a cappucino in a cafe next to Nice SNCF
train station. Lost were passport, Pentax SLR camera, Motorola Timeport
cellphone AND my Sony ICF-SW1E SW/FM radio.

I'm just compiling my insurance claim and trying to find a current
equivalent to this radio, which I bought for £150 GBP in 1991. This does not
seem to be a current model, so I would be grateful for any recommendations
for a replacement of equal quality. I really liked this radio (pause for
quiet sob).

I'd be grateful for any help.

Thanks.

Bad Soliloquy !!

Well, I never heard THAT before!! (irony mode).

Mike;

After the SW1 came the SW100. Still available, more features but in a
clamshell package which may or may not appeal to you.
Then came the SW07 which has everything plus the kitchen sink.
All of these sets sound bad to me, but they are about the same size as your
SW1 and have features and performance hard to match.
As for an aggreable little travel radio, I second the ATS606/DX399/R617
recommendation; it's a great set for not much money.

John
