Hello All:

I have a Sony 2010 Shortwave Radio, and it had water poured over it, and
and of course quit working.

Any suggestions or a suggested repair place?

If you didn't turn it on wet let it dry out in the sun and it should work!
Even if you did turn on it wet, I'd still try a thorough drying
good luck

- If it was Fresh water, let it dry in the sun for a day or so,
then retry it.




www.universal-radio or www.ccrane.com would be my first places to try....

- got too partied up in my youth;
trying to sleep,
freind put on " Orange Blossom Special "
- I got up & poured Water on the amp;

he cursed a bit at me & put the amp in the oven on low...

- worked fine !!!

We both got up at 5:00 A.M & went to work the next day
( REAL bad day at work.. !!! )

As long as the water was not *salt* or contaminated
(meaning fresh drinking water) Just pull off the rear
cover and let it sit exposed to the hot sun atop a
table all day long. The sunlight heating should remove
all traces of water. If you want to be real sure, leave
it out in the sun for a second day. Just be SURE to
LET IT COOL to room temp (about 1 hour in an
A/C room) before you turn it on.

This is a late response, but...

Even in just where a breeze can get to it will work. In the low humidity
Mojave, a fan blowing on it should do the trick. Be sure to rotate it now and
then.

I'd salvaged gear that had been dunked in sal****er, when the boats they were
in had sank. Immmediately after recovery, though, they were flushed with much
fresh water and then dried as mentioned by you all.

I even heard of a ham who took a grungy ol' boat anchor to a car wash and gave
it a thorough soaping and rinsing -- and was successful.

Come to think of it... I saved the motors and other electrical stuff in my
laundry and ham station power supplies, after they was flooded with
contaminated Galveston Bay water back in 1969 (before flood insurance), by
flushing with fresh water and drying.

At one two-way radio shop that I worked at, this was a standard thing we did
with every boat anchor that came in (unless of course they were already
spotless), we drenched them with a mild soap, then rinsed them out with
clean water and sun dried them. Never had a related failure.
