Default Re: Sony ICF-SW1 'overloading' on FM?

The ICF-SW1 has a Local/DX switch that will attenuate the antennasignal when put in 'Local'.
That should take care of any overload-situation.
When it doesn't the problem is not caused by overloading the input RF-amp imo.
I believe this Sony is made with SMD-electrolytics with a reputation for going bad. Probably a re-cap could cure the problem.
I have the Service-Manual; PM me with your e-mail address for info.

rgds,
