Really peaved!
 

I bought a Sony SW7600GR a month or so ago and two weeks ago I bought the Sony power
supply adapter recommended for the radio.

Yesterday I unplugged the adapter to check and changing batteries if required, (Ni
Cads) and when I re-plugged the adapter into the radio it indicated no battery! I
thought that the battery was shot but as soon as I unplug the power adapter the radio
will kick right back in. It had me quite puzzled for a bit but then I noticed that
there was no metal positive socket on the tip of the adapter plugin. I had plugged
and unplugged the adapter several times before with no problem but this last time the
positive socket must have remained where it was on the positive pin when the plug was
removed.

I think that I can see the collar of the positive tip on the positive pin down in the
hole but I am not 100% sure.

Now the question I want to pose is: Is Sony responsible for getting the old positive
tip out of my radio, along with replacing the power supply adapter

PS Has anyone ever had this happen to them??

Yes I had it happen once. Take a pair of small tweezers and pull it off the
+ pin in the radio. Then send back the adapter for a new one. You don't want
to send in the radio if you can help it.

Is the adapter made in communist China?

I admit to having checked some adapters for origin, but some things
are just beyond my limits.

I must admit I've never seen reptilian sphincters and marxist doctrine
connected before...must definitively show that communism is the opiate
of the asses.
