Sony ICF-SW55 Capacitor Repair Kit

Sony ICF-SW55 Comprehensive Capacitor Refresh Kit

Is your Sony ICF-SW55 losing its voice or struggling to lock onto a signal? These classic world band receivers are legendary, but they suffer from a well-known "age-related illness": failing surface-mount (SMD) capacitors. This all-in-one repair kit is designed to restore your radio to its original factory performance—and then some.

The Problem: Ageing Electrolytes

• Symptoms: Faded or distorted audio, plummeting signal strength, "dead" bands, or erratic tuning behaviour.
• The Culprit: The original SMD capacitors on the signal board leak or dry out over time, causing corrosive damage and circuit instability.

The Solution: Premium Component Upgrade

This kit doesn't just replace the old parts; it improves them. We’ve swapped the standard factory components for high-endurance alternatives.

• Higher Thermal Rating: Upgraded from the original 85°C to 105°C for significantly better longevity and heat resistance.
• Precision Fit: 24 Premium Grade SMD Electrolytic Capacitors, specifically selected for the ICF-SW55’s signal board.

What’s Inside the Box?

• 24 high-spec, 105°C rated SMD electrolytic capacitors.
• Fully illustrated, colour-coded map for easy component identification.
