Sony ICF-SW1 portable shortwave radio + case, accessories and manuals. Working.

Description

This auction is for my Sony ICF-SW1 shortwave radio.
The radio is fully working and according to the previous owner it has been recapped (a necessary job as radios age) and given that the signal reception is excellent and the audio is clear I’ve been happy with it.
The backlight however does not seem to work so I assume the miniature bulb or LED has burnt out. Given I don’t use it in the dark that hasn’t bothered me.
I do not have the original cardboard box but it does come with its original hard plastic travel case. I believe there would have originally been a soft pouch too but I don’t have it.
As far as I know it comes with all its accessories including genuine Sony power adapter (with US and I believe Euro? prongs) as well as the additional amplified antenna inc adapter, the window suction cup, radio strap, earphones (which I don’t believe are the originals but at least are Sony), manual and wave guide book.
I’m not 100% sure what else it originally shipped with so please check the photos before bidding. If an item is not shown in the photos it means it’s not included. You get what is in the photos, nothing more, nothing less.
The radio is in excellent cosmetic condition with some darkening of the light grey buttons due to age (sadly common). There is no sign of leaking battery damage in the battery compartment and even the ribbon to remove the batteries is still present.
There is no sign of leaking battery damage in the compartment of the amplified antenna however the foam on the battery cover has discolored and deteriorated but the batteries are held in just fine and don’t rattle however you could glue some new foam on if you wanted to.
I’m assuming anyone looking at this auction knows what they are looking at, it’s an absolute classic shortwave radio from the miniaturization masters at Sony produced nearly 35 years ago and very collectible.
