Introduction

If your Sony ICF-C1T is having trouble increasing or decreasing volume, use this guide to replace the volume dial.

The volume dial gauges the volume produced by the Sony ICF-C1T by rolling the dial-up and down. If your system does not change the volume upon moving the dial, the dial may need to be replaced.

Step 3-5 requires separating part of the device, make sure to use caution handling circuitry to ensure that no wires are torn.

Before beginning this guide, make sure to unplug the device and remove any batteries.

    • Remove the 4 (14mm) screws from the underside of the device using the Philips #0 Screwdriver.

    • Before beginning this step, make sure the clock is unplugged and the batteries have been removed.

    • Pry apart the edge of the top and side portions of the device using a flat-headed tool (i.e. flathead screwdriver, card, etc)

thanks for the great instructions. a few notes: it seems the “edit” comments were all left in above (“no edits necessary” and the stuff about highlighting parts of it). after step 3, there wasn’t instructions about removing the two screws from the motherboard, before step 4.
