I'm asking if anyone here is aware of the accurate dimensions of the
dc plug, inner & outer, of Sony ICF2010 / 2001D?
I suspect I'm causing the old thing, recently rediscovered, a few
issues with my makedo solution!

Many thanks, folks.

Don't have it in front of me right now at this moment, BUT be very
careful about the POLARITY. The inner pin may be negative,afaik.

The search for the holy grail of wall wart adaptaplugs. The little yellow
Sony plug. I have several. Gray market universal DC power supplies may or
may not include the right one. See "Frys dot com"

No. The inside pin is negative, backwards of the usual enter pin setup.

Per someone who actually owned said receiver; the computer batteries get
loose and erase all your memories; a dime will take up the slack nicely.
