Hey, I\u2019ve known your site for quite a while, ever since someone gave me Sony\u2019s last portable world band radio, the ICF-SW7600 many years ago. Was wondering if maybe you or someone else who peruses your blog would recognize this set in the background of an episode of Orphan Black. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hard to tell, but it appears to be a more conventional radio. Regardless, it is positively fierce! And since the imrdb seems to have died, I thought I\u2019d ask you. Hope it\u2019s not a bother. I\u2019m still learning so please keep up the good work!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not a bother at all, Alan! Indeed, many here in the SWLing Post community love solving our radio mysteries. Sadly, I can’t get enough detail from the image to determine the model, but I’m willing to bet someone else can! There are a couple good clues in there.<\/p>\n

Readers: Please comment if you can ID this radio. Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
