Review on Telescopic FM Radio Antenna Aerial for Sony ICF-SW7600GR SW7600G - 8 sections by Juan Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very good substitute, and here's why.

What can you say about the antenna, right? More than you think. My Sony 7600 had a cracked case or casing due to the force being put on it to pull and rotate the antenna. An antenna screw secures the antenna to the back of the case, and between the antenna and the case back is a small metal tab with two little fingers that electrically connect the antenna to the circuit board of the radio when the back of the case is installed in the radio. . The rear case is cracked around the antenna. I bought a new Sony back case and antenna. But the antenna was difficult to get out of the radio, it must be at the base to clean the radio when the radio is on the built in stand. This allows the radio to be set up at an angle with the antenna pointing straight up and down. My new replacement Sony antenna was too tight, over time the case will crack again. I took it out, put it in, took it out and screwed it on. But in the end it turned out to be flexible, tilting so many degrees to one side or the other. The radio sat abandoned for years. I recently tried to get another one from Sony but it seemed to me that they no longer supply it. They don't even seem to sell parts anymore, they gave them away on contract and the company they use doesn't seem to either. So I found it here at Revain, the price is way lower than the Sony price, it attaches with no problems and drum roll please, it seems to have the right tension, pulls out easily but doesn't dangle and stays upright but if you tilt the radio too far it will fall a little to one side or the other (when the antenna is extended there is a lever, this antenna works as I expected from the first replacement I got from Sony but it didn't). And the delivery was quick. Excellent work.

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Zero
