Sony ICF S10MK2 FM AM Portable Pocket Silver Radio - Works Great
Oct 05, 2020
Great travel radio
I believe this Sony was manufactured in the late 90's to possibly the early 2000's. It runs on two AA batteries, which last a long time. I would rate the reception as being better for FM listening. It locks onto a signal and holds it well. The volume is fine, but will distort if turned up too high. For this class of radio it does the job for me. On AM the reception is descent, though it's easy to go past stations unless you tune very slowly. This radio was well received by the public, as its sales were,and still are good, despite being discontinued. Some reviews claim this model has better performance than the current Sony ICF-P26, which replaced it. This came in two colors, black and silver.

Sony 3F-61W
The Sony 3F-61W is a 9 transistor AM/FM radio made around 1967. It operates on 3, 1.5 volt AA batteries. It has good reception on both bands with great audio. They come in 3 colors I'm aware of: black, white,and red. The audio is much better than modern Sony's I have. Definitely recommended!

Sony ICF-S10MK2 2 Band pocket radio
1 of 1 found this helpful I was looking for a pocket size AM/FM radio with decent performance. I read many reviews, and was torn between this model and the newer ICF-26 which replaces the discontinued S10. Here's why I chose the S10. It has been around many years, with an excellent track record. Sony's choice of 2 AA batteries instead of a 9 volt is very wise,as well as an analog display, because both save battery life, by quite a bit. Reception was excellent on both bands,with stations received across the entire dial. Dial accuracy was quite good too. I would compare sensitivity on AM to typical 6 transistor reception from the 1960's. Usually this is lacking in today's radios, but not so with this one. As nighttime atmospheric conditions get better on AM, I'm even hearing stronger reception. On FM,I would compare it to 8 or 9 transistor performance, with no FM drift whatsoever. Those old enough to remember that was a big problem years ago with early FM. Just remember that this is FM mono,not stereo. If you want stereo you probably want a Walkman type radio. And those usually don't have the best reception, but do provide great audio. The audio quality on this isn't bad for a pocket size. No complaints. I think it's just the right size. If you want something smaller I'd consider the Kaito,though the reception wouldn't be as good as this,nor would the audio. Another reviewer comparing this to the newer ICF-26 claims that radio has slightly lower (bassier) audio, but slightly less sensitivity. It supposedly has much longer battery life,though that hasn't been a reported problem with the S10. The red l.e.d. tuning indicater is very helpful too,and will usually light up when tuning a stronger station. Another nice thing I found on FM is the radio didn't seem overwhelmed by really strong stations, which is very impressive for this class of radio. Tuning is quite smooth,but it does need to be done slowly for best results. I would rate the reception as AM: good,better than most small radios today. FM: very good to excellent. Audio: very good. Sony did a great job with this model, get one while you still can!
