Sony ICF-SW100 aerial issue. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

SNORBANS2 · 13th Nov 2023, 4:44 pm

I bought this little gem for twenty years or so, for traveling. Sadly the top section of the extendable aerial suffered a break. Is it possible to repair (how and who) or is it best to replace the aerial (if available, where)?

Any and all help appreciated.

Thanks

John

Hi,
Great little radio, the ICF-SW100. I guess you have searched AliExpress and Ebay for telescopic antennas that might fit. Unfortunately, I do not know if it is possible to repair a broken aerial...

Thanks for the suggestions, I haven't tried alternatives yet as I was rather hoping to find a replacement or repair first.
