NOTE: In order to be able to mention other receiver models, we have used an asterisk * in the information below so that we could comply with Ebay’s listing requirements and avoid keyword spamming. Thank you for understanding! If you are familiar with the Sony ICF-SW77 and have been looking at this model, then perhaps this radio is for your consideration. This Sony SW77’s cosmetics are quite nice and signs of prior ownership are minimal. As a bonus, this radio comes with an original store box and styrofoam box inserts plus an original outer factory shipping box. (please note that the serial number on the outside box do not match the serial on the radio) These Sony SW77’s were known to have used capacitors that failed prematurely and after only a few years creating a variety of issues. This radio had been sent to Craig Siegenthaler at KIWA Electronics when he still offered the service to restore these defective caps. Thus, the restoration was done by a known and expert authority on radios using quality caps and should last for the useable lifetime of the radio. The SW77 works beautifully. We tested out the tuning, bandwidths, sync detector, keypad, etc, etc, and found everything operating as designed by Sony and so there are no shortcomings during use. Based on this evaluation, the new owner should be pleased with this SW77 and find it to be a good radio and provide many hours of trouble free operation for many years to come. The SW77 comes in the original boxes along with: original owner’s manual (still sealed in unopened bag)How To Catch The Wave booklet (still sealed in original unopened bag)Sony warranty card (still sealed in original unopened bag and thus unfilled) carry strap (uninstalled and in original bag)AN-71 reel antennapair of earbuds (missing foam covers) copy of the service manual in binder (69 pages) EEB catalog advertisement 1992 (Electronic Equipment Bank) EEB catalog advertisement 1994 EEB catalog listing 1992 Universal Radio catalog listing 2003 Universal Radio catalog ad 1998 Sony Catalog page copy 1998 Gilfer Shortwave 1993 catalog page Sony 1998 catalog Sony ICF-SW77 brochure Medium Wave Circle review Passport review 1993 (Passport To World Band Radio) Passport review 1994 Passport review 2006 WRTH review 1992 (World Radio & Television Handbook Sony SW07 and SW77 review & comparison – Jay Allen (I love his information and reviews) Finally, the radio comes with a CD containing the manuals and other documents for the new owner’s information and for your radio files. This CD is not sold separately and includes about 200 MB of files many of which are no longer available from any other source. To power the radio, you will need an AC adapter (not included) or four C cell batteries (included). We do not offer the documents for sale separately and ask that you refrain from sending an email to inquire. If you are not familiar with the SW77, let us tell you a bit about the radio. First of all, it was often cited by Sony and by shortwave enthusiasts as a replacement for the worthy Sony ICF*2010 radio that had been produced by Sony for nearly 20 years. In the end, it was not that the ICF*2010 had ceased to sell, but rather its hand soldering fabrication had become too expensive for Sony to produce in an era of surface mount components and miniaturization. Thus, Sony discontinued the favored ICF*2010 radio and fans of this radio were heartbroken with its demise. However, Sony had introduced the SW77 in 1992 and this radio was the intended replacement and finally began to come forth from the shadow of the ICF*2010 once the 2010 was no longer available. The 2010 had done so many things well….namely the selectable sideband sync detector, easy keypad entry along with slew tuning, and sensitive reception off of the whip antenna for a portable receiver. The SW77 carried many of the 2010 features forward, but also added some new features to the mix. Let us make things easy and by sharing with you a compiled list of features on the SW77: * Reception of LW, AM, Shortwave and FM with frequency range of 150 – 30,000 kHz plus FM * Variety of tuning including 2 tune speeds, slew, direct entry, seek signal scan, meter band, and page tuning * Synchronous selectable sideband * Two bandwidths (well chosen) of 6.0 and 3.3 kHz * Fine tuning of 50 Hz allows for superb SSB clarity reception * Separate bass / treble controls * Two illuminated multi-function liquid crystal displays * Dual time zone clock (displays separate from frequency) * Station name appears on LCD when station preset is used * 10 level signal strength indicator * Excellent stability (less than 20 Hz drift after 10 second warmup) * Flip up chart on top of radio to calculate time differences * Easily accessible display contrast control * VCR style 5 event timer controls radio and optional outboard recorder (sleep timer, etc) * Tilt rest * RF gain * External antenna jack * Dial lock * Passband filter to avoid strong stations showing up outside intended receiving band * Stereo FM through the headphone jack * 162 station presets that can be updated, as desired This is a lap portable radio which means that while it is portable and can be easily toted to the RV, beach, campsite, etc, it cannot be placed in the shirt pocket when heading out the door. The advantage to the larger size is the ability to include a larger speaker for better sound, having a larger keypad for ease of use, and a larger display containing more information that is easier to see. Thus this lap portable carries its own advantages as a larger portable and since it can operate off of 4 C cells in addition to AC current, can be transported along for listening outside the home. The SW77 is fun to use and offers the owner a multitude of listening options whether tuning to utility stations, AM broadcast listening, amateur radio transmissions, marine traffic, international shortwave, CB transmissions, or standard FM broadcasts. The 5 event timer is sophisticated and allows the owner to have the radio automatically turn on at certain times, for specific time intervals on specific frequencies. Basically, there are lots of features and options to explore and the SW77 will offer the owner many hours of fun in discovering and using the features as-well-as tuning into a multitude of transmissions. As for us, we are shortwave broadcast fanatics tuning into such broadcasts several hours each day as we work from home. Due to the time constraints, we do not have the freedom to DX as much as we would like, but every few days will spend an hour or two discovering unfamiliar waters. Shortwave is unique in this respect. Unlike with AM and FM broadcasts, shortwave bands are constantly changing. What bands work during the day change with different bands working at night. What station is received on a frequency in the summer, needs to switch frequency during the winter due to seasonal changes in the ionosphere. Thus, there is always a point of learning, discovery, and challenges of receiving broadcasts from all over the world.
