Group,

I just got a Sony ICF-PRO 80 scanner at an estate sale. Unfortunately,
it came with no instructions but I've managed to figure out most of the
operations.

However, even though all the tuning and scanning functions work fine and
I can hear stations, the audio output is very low. I thought it might be
a dirty lifting connection on the earphone jack, so I plugged in an
earphone and "exercised" the jack. It made no difference and the
earphone volume was also on the low side. BTW, the low volume condition
occurs on the AM and FM band (audio output is so low, i did not try
short wave). So, here are my questions...

I doubt it, but is this "cockpit error" or a known problem with the PRO 80?

If the answer to the above is "no", where can I get a schematic and/or
service information for this radio? Sony, Sams Photofact, 3rd party vendor?

Thanks in advance for any info!
