Well, I think the Sony 2010 still is the most impressive portable of all
time.
The likelihood is that all that is wrong with it are a couple of front end
FET's blown.
It's well worth trying to repair.
You have some top class radio outfits in the UK:
Waters & Stanton http://www.wsplc.com/ who have a very comprehensive
website.
Martin Lynch
Haydon Communications and a couple of others.
A search through some of the UK magazines like Short Wave Listener, Radio
Active, Short Wave Magazine and others
may reveal further leads.
They have experts who will offer you good advice.
I would think a Sony 7600GR would be a good replacement for a 2010 if you
can't get it fixed, which you should try first.

Thanks for your advice. I have looked at Waters & Stanton and, aside from the
fact that the website is verrrrrrrry slow, it looks good. I suspect they will
repair too.
