:raj - I have an SW55 that needs some help. It still receives AM but only at very low volume. If the volume is turned up, I just get a loud, low hum. On FM, I only get the loud hum and the radio shuts itself off after a few seconds. What would you charge to fuix it and how do I send it to you?

Raj:
I have a non-functioning Sony ICF-2010. Do you still repair these? May I ship you mine?

Hi Jim,
I've repair many of Sony's shortwave radios, including the 2010, SW55, and others. You can check out the 2010 user group on Yahoo groups for reviews of my work. I pride myself in charging low, low prices, since I do this as a service to fellow SWL'ers (I have a "real" daytime engineering job :))
If you like me to help you, feel free to email me at noelramos @ comcast.net (remove the spaces).

Hi,
Have you had any luck in getting your radio repaired? I've fixed several SW55's in the past. Given your symptoms, I'd guess that the surface mounted elect. caps need replacing. This is a common fault with older Sony equiptment.
If you'd like my assistance feel free to email me at noelramos @ comcast.net (remove the spaces).
