Sony CRF-5100 Earth Orbiter Radio - Overview, Look Inside, & Addressing a Mechanical Issue. 1975-81
Take a look at this Sony CRF-5100 Earth Orbiter radio, hear it run through some of the bands, check out the controls and features, and take a look at the internal chassis to learn about a major issue I've discovered with this unit that may affect one you own or may be considering purchasing.
For you tech-minded folks, let me know your thoughts on resolving the mechanical issue, in case you have a solution or thoughts on addressing it apart from a full replacement of the parts or making replacement parts myself.
Overall I love the radio despite owning it only a day. But in that time, I've partially disassembled it, performed troubleshooting on an issue, and put it back together. I enjoyed listening to Coast to Coast AM with George Noory last night and expect this radio will serve me well as long as I choose to own it. Thanks for checking my video out and let me know if you have any questions.
