20 Most Recent Sony CFD G505 Boombox Questions & Answers

All antennas are the easiest repair an non-electronics technician can try to do

Go on line to the SONY website and request the parts list for your boombox. THen order it!

One of the most common failures is the actual AC inlet. Have you tried using batteries? If the batteries work, I would guess that either the AC inlet has broken or that one of the connections to the transformer has broken. Either repair is not particulalry expensive. Getting at these parts can be a bit tricky though. Try running on batteries and update this with the results.

Thanks,
Dan

hello .should the laser be weak and not just dusty a repair would be impractical as our labor is 90$ before the part cost.. from the picture it looks like a top loader in which case you could manually clean the laser with a simple q-tip---gently in a circle clean the lens dry q-tip no liquid .. also does it fail with different discs? if only with one that disc might be scratched ,dirty etc..

It looks like the manual knows, and you can have 5 AM station presets and 15 FM. https://www.google.com/search?q=preset+a+second+AM+station+on+a+Sony+SRF-M97+Walkman ..
