Replacement telescopic antenna for SONY ICF7600A am/fm/sw radio
This is a long shot but if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
The original Sony part # was 150125500 superseded by part # 991099931 - no longer available. |

I haven't a clue if they are suitable, but they are longer, and wider in diameter to support the longer length. Michael |

Not for an SW radio, they have long ones with several segments, especially if you wisht to keep it stock. The newest boomboxes have stubby antennas now, much like the antennas found on cellphones some five or ten years ago. Old boomboxes and cordless phones, however, did have segmented antennas. I have a 1993 _Passport to World Band Radio_ open right now to the page with the review of the ICF-SW7600. I am aware that the 7600 of 1993 is not the same as the radio that currently carries that designation. The 1993 radio got a nice review, by the way. Inasmuch as the stock antenna is no longer available, it may not be possible for the OP to maintain the original appearance of the radio. He may have to settle for an antenna that works, but does not exaclty duplicate the original. As another lister says, old handheld CB radio antennas will work, but handheld CBs are much rarer in the trash than boomboxes and cordless phones. In fact, I've never seen one, though I bought two at a church rummage last summer. Old portable TV antennas would work too, but they have dried up in the local trash stream. Best wishes. |

Thanks for all the suggestions as to alternative antenna's, but SONY appear to have had their antenna's made to order. Despite the thousands of varieties out there, it seems only the original will fit. On this radio the antenna must be pulled upwards out of the case to allow the antenna to be swivelled. This means the base part (below the swivel point) is special and if an alternative antenna is to be used it is inevitable that the base part be retained and the new telescopic part fitted to it. In order to fit into the case recess the this limits the telescopic part to those with a female slot at the base 2.5mm wide, 6mm outer diameter and a collapsed length of 160mm. While searching I came across Ken's Electronics http://www.kenselectronics.com/index.html and he lists an amazing range of telescopic antenna replacements (see Boombox & phone). Only 3 of them have female slots. |
