After taking off the back panel [I thought] very carefully, I've discovered that the coax from the front panel switch that selects either Normal [baseband] or RF [Demodulate] input to the [grand]daughter board on the back panel that contains the RF input network was torn loose because there's no service loop in the coax and absolutely no way to free the daughter board from the back panel.
That done, I now want to reconnect the coax to the daughter board with at least some service loop so the problem won't repeat itself. Before I select a repair technique, however, [I think] I need to know the bandwidth of the signal to be carried on this coax. If it's already demodulted and the coax is only there for shielding then a careful splice would do, but if it really carries the RF, then [I think] I need to put in a new coax section with [perhaps] BNC connectors to make it removeable.
I'd appreciate it if anyone with either a manual or knowledge of the unit could provide some guidence as to the proper way to proceed.
Also, if anyone's done this before, how is the back panel supposed to be removed without damaging the connection of the coax to the daughter board.
Thanks Norm
