Recapping a Panasonic RJ-3700 without any documentation whatsoever. In my defense, I bought this thing well before I swore off buying orphan radios.
On the inside of the radio, between the PLL/VCO section and the crystal filter are two small shields around what I'm assuming are mixer circuits. I was going to pull the shields and see if there were any electrolytics inside of them, but that's proved difficult at best.
Anyone who's worked on one of these beasties know what's inside those shields? Or have a service manual they'd be willing to share?
BTW, this thing isn't in Sam's, I checked. Main board has a Mitsubishi logo on it and board number is RUP 860ZA, just in case there's a sister radio out there that does have service info available.
Board pics:
I've replaced almost all the caps already, just waiting on some 1 uF 50V ones to come in on Tuesday. There was corrosion on the legs of some of the middle sized caps (100 and 220 uF) so it was time.
