OK. I will check it. I don't think I can get to it for a week or so though. I got my hands full at the moment with another project. Yes, I have already cleaned all the contacts ad nauseum and I used deoxit D5, which is probably a better product than the RS stuff -- and I'm convinced that is...

OK. I will give it a try. Someone else said to replace the FET's and like you, I replaced all the 2SK49's and the very expensive 3SK59 JFET to no effect. It is a pain to disassemble, no doubt but can be done. The trick is to secure the huge dial wheels with screws before disassembling...

Well, that's what I'm saying. This is such a common problem with this model that someone out there MUST have fixed this. Just looking to see if someone can share how they did it and which components they ended up replacing to restore those bands.

:confused1: Wow. NOBODY has one of these guys? :confused1:

Some mods are not as simple to undo as just clipping off the accessory cards. The initial modification may have involved replacing resistors with different values, bridging/shorting connections, etc. I think you'll want to find out what that mod was first and what else might've been modified.

Self adhesive SMD LED ribbons should work great. I've used these on many projects and these LED's seem to have a wider viewing angle so the spotlight effect doesn't seem to be as much of an issue on these. The best thing is that these flexible ribbons have a self adhesive backing so they are...

I don't see why it can't be repaired. Broken traces can be bypasses with wire jumper, or if you have access to advanced tools such as the Pace cir-kit, you can certainly fix the trace properly. As for the shorted-bridged components, unbridge them.

Hi everyone. NewB here. I have a Sanyo RP-8880 SW receiver that is dead on all the SW bands SW-1 through SW-5. :crying: It does seems to receive AM (MW), MB, LW fine. FM works too but tuning meter does not deflect (weak signal). I bought this quite some time back and was told that this...
