Capacitor Upgrade
The Sony SW1 is a popular receiver that now suffers from aging surface mount electrolytic capacitors. Consequently, this results in a loss of audio, loss of signal strength or both. Another symptom of aged capacitors is a motor-boating sound when the volume is turned up.
The capacitor upgrade replaces all the electrolytic capacitors that are prone to fail (or dry-up) with time.

Please Note: the capacitor upgrade is only available at this time by sending the SW1 to Kiwa. The capacitor replacement is difficult due to the small components and the extremely tight component layout.
The price includes the cost of the parts.
Capacitor Upgrade $75.00
Return shipping within the continental US $10.00

External Antenna Jack Upgrade
This upgrade rewires the Record Output Jack so it can be used as an External Antenna Jack. A short length of wire of 4 to 5 feet ( 1 to 2 meters) connected to the "tip" side of the miniature headphone plug will substantially improve signal strength when receiving Shortwave or FM signals. This upgrade is especially helpful if the whip antenna has been damaged or broken.
External Antenna Jack Upgrade $10.00

Replacement of the green display LED with a different color (blue, white, yellow, red, amber)
LED Replacement $15.00
