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

The first thing I'd do if in your shoes would be to suspect that aerial. You could extend it as far as what's left of it allows, then touch it (ie use your body as an aerial) to see if there's a significant improvement in performance.

The capacitor change indicates, obviously, that someone's been inside the radio so also check to see if the remains of the aerial are actually connected and, if so, are connected properly.

Having done that, get back to us with the results.
