Stonehenge Sound

Some nerdiness fo’ ya: 🤓
Sony ICF-9650W table radio “restored”! Mid to late 70’s vintage.
Was purchased as dead. Amplifier IC (Sanyo LA4230) was the culprit. Interestingly enough this amplifier is capable of 6-8 watts output which is pretty stout for a table radio. Sounds awesome with that big Pioneer speaker! FM is almost perfect, AM seems deaf but this radio still needs an alignment. Ended up re-capping it while it was all apart, but it probably didn’t need it.

It’s out and torn down. Found some broken hard parts and a smoked clutch pack.
