For the last two years I have taken upon my self the task of repairing the more popular receivers from SONY. The SW55, SW77 and the ICF-2010 are the most common to be on my work bench. I am not a repair shop and do this mainly as a hobby service for my fellow SWLs. This way I keep my prices low and I treat this as a passion for the hobby.
Here is a link to a few videos I have made of my repairs on You Tube....

I'm thinking of offering my services to Universal Radio as the repairmen of the SONYs are getting fewer.
Enough of that.... I enjoy reading you blogs on short wave radios and seems to me you are right up there with most of the latest. I made a purchase of the Grundig G3 based mostly on what I have read on your blog, as it turns out I have a pretty good example and bought it cheaply from Radio Shack on the Black Friday sale.
Update:
Rod, if you want to leave your contact info, so readers can contact you for some advice, please let us know.
Rod,
Can you repair/upgrade the ribbon cable on the Sony ICF-SW100? I think there is a power supply/adapter upgrade too. Can you please post your email address?
Thanks!

I have a Sony ICF-SW20 with a dead speaker - the voice coil is open. This radio has a small SQUARE speaker in it- is there ANY replacement speaker that will fit?
