Sony ICF-SW100 after repair ssb test. DECADA 7395 Khz LSB & PARA Philippine Net Call on 7095 Khz LSB

This is just a shortwave SSB test after repairing the vintage Sony ICF-SW100 Worlband Receiver from 1994. I bought this last week from a local antique seller for Php300 pesos or around $5 dollars, defective unit no power. It turns out that the 2 ribbon cables connecting the 2 halves was broken which I replaced with ordinary ZIF cables (one 16 pins and the other 18 pins). I had it finally working and this is the first clear test on SSB under a low noise threshold condition and good propagation signal.

Looking to buy it,looks like a nice little sw radio

it is a marvelous piece of vintage radio equipment comparable to larger full band communications receiver models. But with one major flaw: SW100's clam design is very fragile that utmost care must be taken when operating this radio. Also replacement parts are already obsolete so if you got the board damaged chances are you won't find any parts replacement available in stores, especially the SMD IC's and FET transistors. It's very pricey to repair, even if you're just looking for junked/ scrap non-working SW100 to scrounge for parts it would cost you considerable amount of money.
