Sony ICF-6800W
Hello,
Just aquired a Sony ICF-6800W receiver. This is the original version. It is also a Canadian version. The receiver is in immaculate condition. It was stored in a closet under a protective cloth for years. I can't see a mark on it, and it was stored in a dry, non-smoking environment. The radio plays, but has some intermittents with the mode/filter and bandswitch. It seems to be coming back to full function the more I use it. I am not a collector, and am testing the waters to see if there is any interest out there before I head to EBAY. Please drop me an e-mail to discuss the radio, and a possible price if interested. I may also consider some trades for newer radios, like the Sony 2010, etc. I am located in Canada. Regards, Chris VE6RDC |

The switches and controls can be properly cleaned by the proper contact
cleaner for them. Most any of the service centres can service this very easily. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Chris Dorn" wrote in message news:j0lQb.15924$oj2.8375@edtnps89...

In terms of performance, I still feel that 6800W is a better DXing machine than the SAT800 due to it's analog design enabling a much lower noise floor. Indeed, the thing had a very low noise oscillator (along with excellent frequency stability), according to what I read. The first version suffered from really bad IM in strong signal locations like Europe, this was corrected in the second one (S/N 30001+) which also had better filters (CFU+CFW instead of CFT+CFU). That one apparently can still keep up quite well with, say, an ICF-SW77, which is not too shabby.
