My 20 year Sony ICF-2001 recently started for it-self. In the morning
it was lud playing whilst the on/off switch was down.

Later, when it happened more the sound became only al loud
rushshshshshshshs. Switching the radio on and using the preset buttons
or the usual blackbuttons did not gave any normal reaction.

Later also the figures on the display disaperared.

Does this mean the final recycling or can a Sony ICF-2001 used more
than only 20 years ?

Heeksbleek,sounds to me like you need to send that radio to a repair
shop.

Write the thing off and move on. Consider it Divine intervention.
Satan wants you to have a new radio.

Either that or send out for an exorcist.

There are a few guys whom get to this news group and I definetly believe
they can repair your radio for you.

OK, but are they also in central or east Netherlands ?

Sounds like the CPU is finally going. Not unusual at all for 25 year old
early generation microprocessor controlled radios.

I've got a nice working 2001 I'd gladly sell you, but their resale value on
Ebay is dismal and I'm not letting mine go for the petty $30 to $50 they
normally bring. In all honesty, you'd probably be better off with a Grundig
YB400 or something mainstream in the $100 new range.

Have you replaced the two AA computer batteries? I have two 2001's and they
get weird when the AA's get low. RM~

My webtv wireless keyboard and my webtv wireless hand held (I can type
with my hand held remote control with an onscreen keyboard if I wasnt
to,but that is too slow) remote control gets weird when the batteries
get low.Of course I blame all of my mistyping/typos on my keyboard,but
that is par for the course.
