Who repairs Sony 2010
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 |
Try Sony

You can get most Sony ICF-2010's repaired for $50.00 plus return shipping at
RadioLabs. Chris Justice (formerly the Chief Engineer at C.Crane) is there, and will make sure the repairs are done right.

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. 73 Rob Robertson KE6BGO "Stinger" wrote in message ...

Much appreciated. 73 Rob Robertson KE6BGO 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 "Stinger" wrote in message ... You can get most Sony ICF-2010's repaired for $50.00 plus return shipping at RadioLabs.

I just went that route with a radio. What a hassle. I looked at sending mine to Radiolabs but could find little info about the guy. There is very little depth to his website. He does have a few antennas for sale. I heard that he actually works out of his garage. The picture on his website is not a pic of his actual business. I had a hard time justifying sending a 2500 dollar radio to him w/o knowing anything about him. I think I found one person that recommended him. On the other hand, he might be the best tech in the world. This is just my 2 cents. I do know one thing. Stay away from Sony. Tracy |

TL,
RadioLabs is a brand new company, so there isn't much to say as far as previous feedback. However, Chris Justice is a truly gifted radio engineer, who is very into radio, and will do extremely well with his new company. C.Crane's former head technician is also now at RadioLabs. I sent my ATS-909 there for modifications. When it comes back, it will have a new, high-performance speaker, the antenna gain will really be "gain", the LED display will be blue, and it will have some extremely nice sensitivity improvements, including some custom filters to Chris's specifications. Chris e-mailed me the day after they modded my radio, and had the following to say about my newly modded ATS-909: "Whenever I get one of the Super 909s in my hand, which seems to be alot lately, I can't put em down. I have to keep messing with it. The AM filter is just extremely well designed and works so well that it doesn't have any adjacent channel interference, even at 10k with a 1000 watt station about 2.5 miles from me. Excellent filter. That's what I liked playing with the most. The audio is really nice, full and you get a full 6k out of it. That's really unusual nowdays considering most of the radios that are advertised 6k are about 3k. The sensitivity is ... well, you'll just have to play with it. Also, when you get it back, notice how the RF gain control operates and how much GAIN you have :) gotta love it. Compare it to some of your "DX" radios on the market and see how close it comes. I also got a confirming UPS tracking e-mail both from UPS and RadioLabs (my radio will arrive on Monday). So please let me be the first to recommend them for you. They can also do mods on CCRadios, and can even add a Synch Detector (also of CHris's design) to it. -- Stinger "TL Fort" wrote in message ... I did. I still see no reason to send an item to Chris Justice. If he is so well know, why is there no feedback when people ask about him? I made a post asking about him and the quality of his work. Why did you not speak up then? That said, I haven't seen a reason not to use him either. But, I'm surely not going to ship him a 2500 dollar radio without knowing something about the guy. Would you?

Code 3 means you have tried to turn on the radio when the switch on the side is in the locked position. |
