Mine arrived today, found one for $40 on epay so in total it was about $54 to my door. Unit was in excellent cosmetically and functions perfect;y. Opened it up and someone put in new caps a couple years ago, no PC board damage, no evidence of battery leakage instances found, I applied a little silicone oil on the nylon pulley shafts and sealed it back up. The volume slider and tone 3 way switch needed to be cleaned up with contact cleaner so now it’s all smooth. I bought the ICF-7600A to go with my Toshiba RP-F11 (AKA Kenwood F11) since they’re both around 1983-84 vintage.
The 7600A is just a selective on its shortwave bands too. The first time that I used one was going thru the Straights of Gibraltar back in the 1982 borrowing off my supply officer to listen to the BBC. I didn't buy one myself instead the Sony ICF 2001 . In 1983 I bought a 7600D model which worked great until I dropped on my Fence wall, I then picked up the 7600 G then 7600GR models which I still have. They are still good receivers Thanks for the video and 73!.
That is a GREAT 😊 analog radio 📻. Sony has taken a political flush down the toilet 🚽, as far as sound quality is, as the years went by. Earlier models had better sound quality, but the dial on this looks terrific. Your friend, Jeff.
@bobsoldrecords1503 The electrolytic capacitors have likely dried out and need to be replaced. You might be able to find someone that repairs radios like this in your area. These sets have the small pencil eraser sized capacitors mounted on the circuit board. Someone with decent soldering skills and familiarity with small radios could bring it back to life.
