Sony ICF-36 Radio
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. |
