[A-DX] Sony ICD-2010 R.I.P.

[BueschelW@xxxxxxxxxxx (Wolfgang Bueschel)]

Nun ist die Produktion des legendären Sony ICF 2010 auch dahin  
geschieden.
Fred Osterman von Universal Radio hat soeben die Einstellung der  
Produktion
bekannt gegeben.

Schade drum, dieser RX Typ war seit 1984 im In- und Ausland mein
Kurzwellen-Begleiter.

SONY ICF-2010 R.I.P.

We are writing today regarding your backorder for the Sony ICF-2010.  
We have
just received notification from Sony that the ICF-2010 has been
discontinued. We were previously assured that this item would be  
available
until March 31st and that there would be additional production. However,
Sony has changed their mind and has elected not to produce any more  
units.

We regrettably have had to cancel your backorder. If you paid by  
check, a
refund check will be mailed very soon. If you ordered using a credit  
card,
you card was never billed.

Please feel free to call us toll-free at 1-800-431-3939 to discuss  
alternate
choices.
Thank you for your understanding.

Very, very bad news ... and I decided to buy my 3rd ICF 2010 rx soon.  
Had to
wait till the exchange rate of the EUR moved to approx. 75 US cents.  
Same
exchange rate happened in 1994-1996 when payed 1.46 German Marks  
against one
US dollar. (wb)
