Maybe getting a bit long in the tooth for cost effective repair.

One review I found is dated 1993...

Maybe it would be more cost effective to pick up another one off ebay.... saw one going for $10... maybe US$...

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.

It may also be inherently unrepairable, pre-SDR Japanese scanners from the 1990s and 2000s typically have miniaturised components crammed into every available square millimetre, making them impossible to service.

Post-SDR scanners have components recovered from UFO crash sites built into them, also making them impossible to service.
