Would like to know as to how it performs..
I really like the look of this Sony. I've been keeping an eye out for it since the last time it was discussed here, maybe a year or two ago?? It appears that it is only available in Pakistan. The price isn't bad, right around $60 - $65. There are quite a few sites that list it for sale, but can't seem to find one that will export it. For that price, I'd be willing to take a shot. It certainly looks like a keeper. Surprising that they haven't appeared on eBay yet. Oh well, the search continues......

Very interesting radio. Like it came out of a time machine. I went searching on eBay and didn't find it, but this interesting little gem keeps popping up: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Radio-FM-AM-NIKKEI-Pocketable-ICF-RN931-NEW-s40-/321082228414?pt=US_Portable_AM_FM_Radios&hash=item4ac1fdfebe
Anyone know anything about this radio?

If I remember correctly, the headphone jack is only mono, and there's no AC or DC jack; not a big deal on the $13 ICF-F10, but $60 should buy more..
