Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Rick Lewis (WPE5BST), who writes:<\/p>\n

Have been watching this radio on eBay.<\/a> […] Looks like a post 97′ model SW100S and thus the ribbon cable shouldn’t be an issue.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It appears the seller may only be willing to ship this within Europe. You would need to ask about international shipping prior to bidding.<\/p>\n

I love my Sony SW100–it’s one of my go-to travel portables! I’m still most grateful to my buddy, Vlado, who fixed the ribbon cable in my unit. Click here to read more.<\/a><\/p>\n

As Rick mentions, this Sony SW100S shouldn’t have a ribbon cable problem like the original SW100 series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
