They probably won't do it NOW! Sony doesn't want to sell parts. They
want
to sell you a new radio. They have the sorriest customer relations of any
company I've ever seen...


I thought about buying a Sony SW77 used, but I was really leary of getting
it serviced.

One thing's for sure about Drake, if you need a part for one of their
radios, as long as they're still in business they'll do their damndest to
get it for you.

I needed a band crystal for my SW-4, wrote Drake and the Parts Manager

sold
me one he had at home.

Sony's sold eleventy-million ICF2010's; think their Parts Manager will do
that for us in 20 years?

Has anyone considered that if the demise of the Drake R8 series was
truely because of discontinued parts then it is highly likely that
Drake will have few if any parts in inventory for customer repairs.

In the past, more than one great product has turned into a white
elephant because of unobtainable components.

I'd like to hear how Sony customers who send in 2010's and SW77's out of
warranty. If Sony doesn't fix them then what happens? SOL?
