Sony branded LCD in Canon camera ?

this is not as unusual as you might think. Sony makes LCD displays that are in many different kinds of electronic products - they have a component business and a separate consumer products division, as do many other companies that you might only think of first as a consumer brand. For that matter, Sony also makes CCD sensors used in other manufacturers cameras.

thanks Kyle. the background grid is one of those self healing cutting mats that you'd find in an art supply store. the lines are on a 1cm square grid.

Actually the radio does still need repair, I think there might be a break in the battery leads or connector but I didn't want to desolder/replace those before taking the photos and I didn't have time to debug further yet. But I definitely want to see if I can get it working again

BTW, I don't know if I'll get a chance to tear it down but I managed to dig up another old Sony radio! this time a 1959 model TR-714, which was the first two-band (AM & SW) pocket transistor radio. with 7 transistors! and fortunately that one still works perfectly :)

aha! I should have known there'd be an app for that :)
