Finally decided to open up one of the few AM only radios I own. Another "Why did I bid on that?" eBay purchase. Sony ICB-2010.
Don't know why the previous owner stopped using it. May have been the power cord.
Or possibly the microphone connector.
Opened it up to see how much damage there was. Surprisingly, I don't see anything other than where the Sonybond has corroded a few bare metal jumpers.
Here's another look with the speaker out of the way.
And here's a close up of the PLL section with the cover off.
Yes, that's a uPD861C in there. I only see two crystals in the radio, so it's probably set up for ROM mode.
Sadly, Klondike Mike does not currently a carry a kit for this unit, so I'm going to have to catalog and order the caps myself. Only 15 or so, so not really a big pain, just a medium sized one.
BTW, I have zero service info for this radio, so if anyone has any to pass along it would be very helpful.
If I don't post on this again you'll know things didn't go well.
