Repaired SONY ICF-7700 receiver checking out the bands. I just replaced four leaking capacitors on this older SONY receiver, produced around 1987 through 1989. Has a digital scale of an analog tuner plus digital readout, currently found on the Degen DE-1103. Very good receiver, Using only the built-in telescopic whip! Lacking a fine tune and SSB.... Although one could adapt a BFO! Sold for 249 dollars when new, now sells used for 50 to 100 dollars.
This is one of the most beautifully designed shortwave radios I've ever seen, a real classic. But limited frequency coverage and lacking fine tuning prevented me from buying it.
