My own ICF-7601, unknown buying/mfg date, carries a S/N of 55087 – and yours?My findings
I bought a used ICF-7601 in 2003. It had apparently been someone’s workshop radio, judging from the huge amounts of brownish dust inside and several paint sprinkles outside. Does work fine, though, apart from the tiny LED for the MW button. I conducted a head-to-head comparison with my trusty SW7600G (both just on the whip), which resulted in my first ever ’official’ radio review. Head over to my receiver review corner in order to read it.Servicing and internalsService manual
Here’s a complete scanned service manual for the ICF-7601.
While this is of adequate quality, my own scan of the regular (non-L) ICF-7601’s schematic is somewhat better still:
ICF-7601 schematic (my scan), part 1 [298K]
ICF-7601 schematic (my scan), part 2 [271K]
If you need a service manual in paper form, there are various sources that sell ’em. I have mentioned a local one in the misc links section.Architecture overview
After having studied the service manual of the ICF-7601(L), I’d summarize the architecture of the set as follows:
The receiver features no less than four front ends: One for FM, one for MW, one for LW (7601L) or SW1 (7601), and of course one for shortwave.
For FM and MW, this turns out to be fairly simple, signals from the whip antenna or ferrite rod antenna, respectively, are fed virtually directly to the CX20091 mixing, demodulation and audio amp IC (I wouldn’t be surprised if it also contained a function for walking the dog, hi), where they’re mixed to 10.7 MHz and 455 kHz, respectively, output to the respective IF filters (one each for the FM and AM ranges, FM unknown, AM some CFU class 4 element ceramic filter) and input again to be demodulated.
Signals on SW1 or LW are received via the ferrite rod antenna and undergo an RF amp with a 2SK238-K16 FET plus a mixer with a 2SK209-Y, after which they’re fed to the aforementioned AM filter on 455 kHz.
Now to the most interesting part, the shortwave bands, where the receiver works with dual conversion: After the antenna tuning circuit with switched coils, signals pass an RF amp with a 2SK238-K16 FET and are mixed to about 10.7 MHz via the first mixer utilising a 2SK508-K51 FET (which is quite similar to the ICF-SW35 front end with its 2SK238-K16 and 2SK508-K52 FETs – not exactly super high tech, but sufficient for a travel portable). The ’about’ part is because the mixer takes its constant mixing frequency from a crystal oscillator with switched crystals of 15.6 to 32.35 MHz, which leads to a mirror image of the whole band (and more) around 10.7 MHz. (The ’digitals’, by comparison, vary this 1st mixing frequency and thus can employ narrow crystal filters in the 1st IF to reduce IM3 by the 2nd mixer – but they don’t have to fear frequency instability as much as analogs.) After this, two cascaded (and I suppose: sufficiently wide) ceramic filters suppress unwanted frequency ranges that might contain strong signals which could overload the 2nd mixer. This, BTW, uses a 2SK209-Y FET and a variable mixing frequency (that’s what you vary with the main tuning knob – a ’digital’, by contrast, has a constant 2nd mixing frequency since the frequency variation part already took place one IF earlier). Thus the wanted signal gets mixed down to 455 kHz, passes the CFU filter and is finally demodulated in the CX20091.
I found it interesting to find quite a number of similarities to the little ICF-SW20 (the service manual of which I found on the net) – a SW front end with 2SK238 as RF amp plus 2SK508 as 1st mixer and 2SK209 as 2nd mixer, two ceramic filters on the 1st IF which is variable (+/- 0.35 MHz in the case of the ICF-SW20), equally simple FM front end, same CX20091 multi-function IC (AM/FM mixing, demodulation, audio amp, walk the dog etc.), a CFU class AM filter and a single FM filter. The ’little brother’ uses less parts, of course, partly because of the lack of three frequency ranges (LW/SW1, 60m, 21/22m). The somewhat strange numbering of the parts with the ICF-SW20 (big gaps) might mean that the circuitry was a stripped-down version of a bigger version like the one in the ICF-7601 – that’s not even that unlikely, given the ICF-SW20 appeared more than a year after the ICF-7601. Conversely, the ICF-7601 could be seen as a blown-up version of the ICF-4900.
While we’re at it, there’s a current receiver that employs a rather similar concept, the Tecsun R-9700DX (also sold as the Eton YB-250PE) – in particular, a variable 1st IF around 10.7 MHz (10.3..11.0 MHz) and a CFU class filter (2nd IF is 450 kHz though). The competing Degen DE1107 (also sold as Kaito KA1107) also uses it. A slightly beefed-up version with RF gain control and frequency counter / display is found in the Redsun RD1220.
A general note on the somewhat unusual dual conversion concept:
While it is remotely related to the well-known triple conversion Wadley Loop concept in that it uses a fairly wideband IF stage (the first IF in this case) and consequently has similar issues with strong signal handling if the 2nd mixer isn’t pretty good, it actually bears a lot more resemblance to another 1950s concept, namely the Collins 51J-4’s for bands 4.30 (look here for vintage Collins manuals, a block diagram is on page 5 of the 51J-4 section 4 scan; there are some cool details in there, like the xtals being used for two adjacent bands each by using two different 1st IFs, and the xtal harmonics are being used as well – seems like crystals were mighty expen$ive back then).
Sony chose the 1st IF of 10.7 MHz for easier 1st IF image rejection and the availability of off-the-shelf ceramic IF filters, and the extensive RF and IF level tracking found in the Collins set (3 tuned LCs on RF level and one on IF level, all permeability tuned) shrinks to a single fixed resonant circuit per band.
Drift is kept rather low as the tunable 2nd local oscillator only works in a limited range around 11 MHz. (In the old ICF-7600A, an even more stable configuration with the LO under the 1st IF was being used, although I think the main reason for its better stability is better LO construction. The 2nd mixer in the older set is less prone to overload as well.) And in fact, I think that much improved readout accuracy and improved stability were the main reasons for choosing this concept over a classic single conversion one, along with better image and spurious rejection. In this form, it cannot reach the same raw reception performance as a ’normal’ dual conversion concept; this would have required both a tracking filter on the 1st IF and a beefier 2nd mixer. While being quite ingenious when originally thought up around 1980, it already was outdated by the time the ICF-7601 came out and inexpensive frequency counters would have allowed a conventional dual conversion design with ultimately better reception and readout accuracy (if not the same stability, always a problem with wide-range analog tuned oscillators). These days, this receiver concept really is something for weaker signal areas only, and I would therefore hesitate to recommend buying a new receiver using it (they typically do seem to have fairly good selectivity though).
Incidentally, the venerable ICF-5900W isn’t a Wadley receiver either, just an almost ’normal’ dual conversion rx (with a tuned front-end and bipolar balanced mixer, btw) that reuses some FM IF filters for the 1st SW IF, with a crystal-based marker frequency generator (250 kHz) and a slightly and precisely adjustable 2nd LO frequency thrown in. The trick when tuning the rx is finding a marker het close to the desired frequency (.25 MHz accuracy shouldn’t be a problem on the main dial, so one knows where that is) and then using the fine tuning which allows a decently precise readout of the frequency offset, thus the frequency can be determined as precisely as the fine tuning dial allows. The critical part in terms of drift remains the 1st LO.
It will seem that Sony likes to refresh existing IC designs once in a while, replacing older ICs with new functionally identical ones, probably to accomodate for changed production processes. The CX20091 got a followup called CXA1191M, then CXA1691M, later CXA1691AM and then CXA1691BM (substitute S for M for the DIP variant). Similarly, the CX20111 as used in the ICF-SW7600 and ICF-SW55 was followed by CXA1111M and CXA1611M. The interesting part is that if you can’t find a datasheet for one version, one that covers another version generelly will also do (plus you can still buy at least the current iteration of such a chip in case a replacement is needed).Specified power consumption
Total current spec from the schematic (with minimum output, I suppose):
*FM: 16 mA
*MW: 12.5 mA
*SW10 (13m): 20 mA
*SW2 (60m): 19.5 mA
*SW1 (120/90/75m) or LW: 15.5 mA
These pretty much suggest that batteries should really last an eternity and a half.ICF-7600DA (ICF-7700) section

* Switched tank circuits for antenna tuning / bandpass filtering for the individual shortwave bands, ferrite rod for MW/LW is untuned (preamp w/ feedback as in SW7600 etc.)
* AM IF filter: IFT + ???455IT, possibly a 6-element CFWS, 4 kHz nominal
* FM IF filters: 2x SFE10.7MA (the usual 280 kHz barn doors)
* Receiver part is based around a CXA1031M, apparently something proprietary that is likely to be quite similar to the all-in-one CXA1019 and CX20091/CXA1191 ICs (compared to the latter, the functionality and pinout are identical)

* High sensitivity on FM
* Good speaker sound – with an open rear and a speaker driver that is glued to the cabinet, construction is similar to the ICF-7600A
* Modest battery drain for a PLL tuned setCons
* Shortwave reception stays behind ICF-7600A(W) and even more so ICF-7600D(S) (at least that’s what a review of a presumably early sample said)
* According to one review: Modest selectivity on FM, also caused by too wide an AFC pulling range (hmm, I don’t see any AFC at work on the schematic, the CXA1031’s AFC pin is connected to the regulated voltage only, and besides, implementing an AFC in a PLL tuned system is not that easy; overall I’d say selectivity should be similar to the other ’digital’ models, which is OK but not exciting)
* No fine tuning on SW, which probably led to a comment about bad selectivity; in fact, the same IF filter as in the ICF-7601 is used
* Occasional electrolytic capacitor problems, even though (unlike the troublesome ICF-SW7600) it uses conventional through-hole electrolytics throughout; the – properly-bypassed – 47µ 4V electrolytic in the DC/DC converter appears to be the most common trouble spot (a 47µ 6.3V electrolytic or 47µ >=10V tantalum should make a good replacement)Additional informationLinks

Not that much of a battery hog. I guess this set was supposed to mimic an analog not only in look and feel but also in power consumption, being geared more towards the traveler rather than the shortwave enthusiast (who’d obviously prefer the ’7600DS by quite a margin).Servicing and internalsService docs
Main board schematic plus corrections and changes from supplement-1 [1.24 megs]
Looking at the circuitry, I would agree with the assessment of adequate, but not outstanding shortwave performance. It still is a better set than an ICF-SW40/ICF-SW35 – at the same level of 1st mixer performance, the presence of band filters on RF level and a narrow crystal filter instead of a fairly wide ceramic FM IF filter on the 1st IF would certainly give it the edge in terms of strong-signal handling. (Combining a wideband frontend with an unbalanced first mixer – as found in these inexpensive sets – is not a very smart thing to do, as 2nd order intermod quickly becomes a major problem. Interestingly the preceding ICF-SW30 used a double balanced mixer, but its user interface left quite a bit to be desired.)Links
ICF-7600DA disassembly pics and alignment description, all in Japanese but comprehensive. (Here’s what Google Translation makes of it.)Revisions
The ICF-7600DA/7700 underwent two revisions in its life. The first one in particular was not minor, indicating that several bugs had to be worked out. The resulting versions are:
*up to S/N 7901 (discrete AGC amp, more supply buffering capacity, adjustment trimmer on 75 kHz ref xtal)
*S/N 7902 through 62626 (µPC358G2 opamp based AGC amp, supply buffering reduced, capacitors around 75 kHz xtal changed, various other changes)
*S/N 62627 and higher (some more component value changes)
The original service manual bears a coppyright date of 1987.8, supplement-1 covering the S/N 62627 changes (and the Italian model) states 1988.1. Partly (but not solely) due to all the different versions, the service docs are pretty thick, in stark contrast to the 7601’s minimal service manual! (That is 56 + 18 vs. 18 pages in total.)
In case you are wondering where the second AGC line used for post-preamp AGC went in post-7901 samples (unlike its predecessor circuit, the opamp based AGC amp has only one output), look at the first correction from supplement-1 – the main board schematic from the original service manual does not fully cover the changes. Said second AGC line was done away with, and D36/D37 biasing is now controlled via the first AGC line, with changed values for R94 and R95. This had me puzzled for a while.AM distortion fix (S/N 7902 up) – pt. I
Should you experience audio distortion in the AM mode only, particularly with bass-heavy content, the AGC adjustment needs to be carried out. This is done by adjusting RV2 (a trim pot near the upper right corner of the main PCB’s component side) so that a voltage of 1.275 V +/- 3mV is obtained over electrolytic capacitor C117 underneath while the set tuned to the SW1 band. Sounds easy – however, fairly comprehensive disassembly will be required to get to this point, which is not entirely trivial (see the next section as well as the linked Japanese page).Disassembly / AM distortion fix – pt. IISony Icf Sw07 Manual Download
Here’s a description from reader Sandy Cameron from Canada, who had trouble with AGC-related distortion in AM on a post-62626 sample:
I bought this set NEW from a Sony dealer in 1985-6-7, have forgotten which year.
It has always worked well until the last year or so, when the distortion on AM started to creep in, and finally got bad enough to make me get in to it.
My experience opening the set was not traumatic, I removed the 4 long screws marked by the arrows (on the back), then working along the first seam of the back cover with a pocket knife, discovered I should pry the back cover away from the thin spacer that runs around the set. I forget if the plastic hook catches need to be pressed in, or pried out, but the back cover came off without a fight. The track side of the analog board is now visible.

Sony chose the 1st IF of 10.7 MHz for easier 1st IF image rejection and the availability of off-the-shelf ceramic IF filters, and the extensive RF and IF level tracking found in the Collins set (3 tuned LCs on RF level and one on IF level, all permeability tuned) shrinks to a single fixed resonant circuit per band.
Drift is kept rather low as the tunable 2nd local oscillator only works in a limited range around 11 MHz. (In the old ICF-7600A, an even more stable configuration with the LO under the 1st IF was being used, although I think the main reason for its better stability is better LO construction. The 2nd mixer in the older set is less prone to overload as well.) And in fact, I think that much improved readout accuracy and improved stability were the main reasons for choosing this concept over a classic single conversion one, along with better image and spurious rejection. In this form, it cannot reach the same raw reception performance as a ’normal’ dual conversion concept; this would have required both a tracking filter on the 1st IF and a beefier 2nd mixer. While being quite ingenious when originally thought up around 1980, it already was outdated by the time the ICF-7601 came out and inexpensive frequency counters would have allowed a conventional dual conversion design with ultimately better reception and readout accuracy (if not the same stability, always a problem with wide-range analog tuned oscillators). These days, this receiver concept really is something for weaker signal areas only, and I would therefore hesitate to recommend buying a new receiver using it (they typically do seem to have fairly good selectivity though).
Incidentally, the venerable ICF-5900W isn’t a Wadley receiver either, just an almost ’normal’ dual conversion rx (with a tuned front-end and bipolar balanced mixer, btw) that reuses some FM IF filters for the 1st SW IF, with a crystal-based marker frequency generator (250 kHz) and a slightly and precisely adjustable 2nd LO frequency thrown in. The trick when tuning the rx is finding a marker het close to the desired frequency (.25 MHz accuracy shouldn’t be a problem on the main dial, so one knows where that is) and then using the fine tuning which allows a decently precise readout of the frequency offset, thus the frequency can be determined as precisely as the fine tuning dial allows. The critical part in terms of drift remains the 1st LO.
It will seem that Sony likes to refresh existing IC designs once in a while, replacing older ICs with new functionally identical ones, probably to accomodate for changed production processes. The CX20091 got a followup called CXA1191M, then CXA1691M, later CXA1691AM and then CXA1691BM (substitute S for M for the DIP variant). Similarly, the CX20111 as used in the ICF-SW7600 and ICF-SW55 was followed by CXA1111M and CXA1611M. The interesting part is that if you can’t find a datasheet for one version, one that covers another version generelly will also do (plus you can still buy at least the current iteration of such a chip in case a replacement is needed).Specified power consumption

* Modest battery drain for a PLL tuned setCons
* Shortwave reception stays behind ICF-7600A(W) and even more so ICF-7600D(S) (at least that’s what a review of a presumably early sample said)
* According to one review: Modest selectivity on FM, also caused by too wide an AFC pulling range (hmm, I don’t see any AFC at work on the schematic, the CXA1031’s AFC pin is connected to the regulated voltage only, and besides, implementing an AFC in a PLL tuned system is not that easy; overall I’d say selectivity should be similar to the other ’digital’ models, which is OK but not exciting)
* No fine tuning on SW, which probably led to a comment about bad selectivity; in fact, the same IF filter as in the ICF-7601 is used
* Occasional electrolytic capacitor problems, even though (unlike the troublesome ICF-SW7600) it uses conventional through-hole electrolytics throughout; the – properly-bypassed – 47µ 4V electrolytic in the DC/DC converter appears to be the most common trouble spot (a 47µ 6.3V electrolytic or 47µ >=10V tantalum should make a good replacement)Additional informationLinks

Not that much of a battery hog. I guess this set was supposed to mimic an analog not only in look and feel but also in power consumption, being geared more towards the traveler rather than the shortwave enthusiast (who’d obviously prefer the ’7600DS by quite a margin).Servicing and internalsService docs
Main board schematic plus corrections and changes from supplement-1 [1.24 megs]
Looking at the circuitry, I would agree with the assessment of adequate, but not outstanding shortwave performance. It still is a better set than an ICF-SW40/ICF-SW35 – at the same level of 1st mixer performance, the presence of band filters on RF level and a narrow crystal filter instead of a fairly wide ceramic FM IF filter on the 1st IF would certainly give it the edge in terms of strong-signal handling. (Combining a wideband frontend with an unbalanced first mixer – as found in these inexpensive sets – is not a very smart thing to do, as 2nd order intermod quickly becomes a major problem. Interestingly the preceding ICF-SW30 used a double balanced mixer, but its user interface left quite a bit to be desired.)Links
ICF-7600DA disassembly pics and alignment description, all in Japanese but comprehensive. (Here’s what Google Translation makes of it.)Revisions
The ICF-7600DA/7700 underwent two revisions in its life. The first one in particular was not minor, indicating that several bugs had to be worked out. The resulting versions are:
*up to S/N 7901 (discrete AGC amp, more supply buffering capacity, adjustment trimmer on 75 kHz ref xtal)
*S/N 7902 through 62626 (µPC358G2 opamp based AGC amp, supply buffering reduced, capacitors around 75 kHz xtal changed, various other changes)
*S/N 62627 and higher (some more component value changes)
The original service manual bears a coppyright date of 1987.8, supplement-1 covering the S/N 62627 changes (and the Italian model) states 1988.1. Partly (but not solely) due to all the different versions, the service docs are pretty thick, in stark contrast to the 7601’s minimal service manual! (That is 56 + 18 vs. 18 pages in total.)
In case you are wondering where the second AGC line used for post-preamp AGC went in post-7901 samples (unlike its predecessor circuit, the opamp based AGC amp has only one output), look at the first correction from supplement-1 – the main board schematic from the original service manual does not fully cover the changes. Said second AGC line was done away with, and D36/D37 biasing is now controlled via the first AGC line, with changed values for R94 and R95. This had me puzzled for a while.AM distortion fix (S/N 7902 up) – pt. I
Should you experience audio distortion in the AM mode only, particularly with bass-heavy content, the AGC adjustment needs to be carried out. This is done by adjusting RV2 (a trim pot near the upper right corner of the main PCB’s component side) so that a voltage of 1.275 V +/- 3mV is obtained over electrolytic capacitor C117 underneath while the set tuned to the SW1 band. Sounds easy – however, fairly comprehensive disassembly will be required to get to this point, which is not entirely trivial (see the next section as well as the linked Japanese page).Disassembly / AM distortion fix – pt. IISony Icf Sw07 Manual Download
Here’s a description from reader Sandy Cameron from Canada, who had trouble with AGC-related distortion in AM on a post-62626 sample:
I bought this set NEW from a Sony dealer in 1985-6-7, have forgotten which year.
It has always worked well until the last year or so, when the distortion on AM started to creep in, and finally got bad enough to make me get in to it.
My experience opening the set was not traumatic, I removed the 4 long screws marked by the arrows (on the back), then working along the first seam of the back cover with a pocket knife, discovered I should pry the back cover away from the thin spacer that runs around the set. I forget if the plastic hook catches need to be pressed in, or pried out, but the back cover came off without a fight. The track side of the analog board is now visible.
