Have this Sony ICF-36 four-band (TV/WX/FM/AM) portable from the
Goodwill. It works, but the band switch seems to be dodgy. It's a slide
switch, which works fine for AM, but for all the other bands, it needs
to be jiggled in order to receive the desired band. Otherwise, all I get
is static. Also, I took the radio part to spray some contact cleaner
into the switch, but it didn't help.

Another thing, the radio receives part of the FM band on the TV VHF-Low
band. Doesn't seem right, but that band is useless anyhow. The high-band
setting is still needed since WX shares its beginning.

In Japan, the FM audio band goes down to something like 76 MHz.
