I've got a Sony ICF-2010 on its way to me that needs some work. It has an
Error 3 code that displays intermittently and it won't play, but after
about
half an hour it'll come on and plays fine...(according to the seller). It
is
in great physical condition with box, manuals, etc.. Where would I send
this
to get it checked out...Grove, CCrane, Sony itself (I've heard not). Any
suggestions will be appreciated. I'm in Oregon, but, can send it almost
anywhere in US if it's a reputable, reliable service who knows what
they're
doing the first time

Thanks.
RR

Thank you, thank you...just got this info but didn't know Chris Justice was
there. I'm familiar with his reputation, and for 50 bucks that's a
bargain...even if it's a bit more. Much appreciated.

Rob, the "Error 3" problem was common to older model 2010's and was
due to poor battery contact with the terminals inside the battery
compartment. The 2003 (I believe) edition of Passport To Worldband
Radio published an easy alignment procedure to correct this problem
which you can do yourself at no cost and in a few minutes. Sony fixed
this minor flaw in later model 2010's.

Regards,

Grumpus
