Hello,
If you've read some of my posts here and elsewhere you know that I always give lots of my "opinions," whether asked for or not! In that spirit, here is my opinion on the matter of AC-adaptors for the Sony ICF-SW7600GR: Don't Buy One! Instead, spend your money on two sets of NiMH rechargeable batteries (look for ones rated 2000 mAh or more) and a charger that allows you to leave batteries in it at all times without causing an "overcharging" situation. The C. Crane QuickCharger is an example of the kind I mean but there are many others as well. You would then use one set of batteries in the radio - and a set lasts a VERY long time - and then, when that first set ran down, you would merely replace it with the second, fully-charged, set and re-charge the first set. You would leave the batteries in your charger (which of course would always be connected to AC power) until such time as you needed them. Quite easy and very economical in the long run. Many of the AC-Adaptors available for the ICF-SW7600GR add noise and are often very high-priced for what you're getting. More importantly, the radio seems to perform far better on batteries (especially with weak signals) than with an AC-Adaptor, at least in my experience. Consider what I recommend. I believe you would be pleased with the results. However, if you still want an AC-Adaptor, I believe the Universal Radio one (mentioned in a message above) is the one to buy as it has been specifically modified for use with the Sony radio. (It costs $19.95 plus $4.95 shipping; I don't think it's worth it!) Best, Joe (Always Opinionated but Lovable!) I'm almost positive I seen someone mention a Radio Shack part number for this item, but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |
