The Sony ICF-SW1 or SW1S (shortwave radio system) Distorted or Humming or Motorboating

• Does your SW1 sound bad?
• Does it HUM or 'motorboat'...brrrrrtttttt.....
• Does it work good with headphones and sound like crap through the internal speaker??

Well, it IS NOT the speaker!.. it IS a problem developed from leaking or defective capacitors..

And YES there IS a 'fix' and here is the place to find that fix.. <--- (click to a site that shows the repair)

1. You can do it yourself (providing you feel lucky and know how to work on small electronics)
