I cannot honestly answer your question because the person who has the radio did not disclose the name and/or location of Authorized Repair Center.

I would be tempted to reflow that mixer IC to take some of the strain off the chip pins. Maybe it's not a huge deal, but to me it looks like that part is taking a lot of the strain.
