Default BC-348-Q Repairs - Looking for advice

GRRRRRR.......


Actually a 910 khz IF makes a great deal of sense in a rig with an XTAL
filter, low frequency coverage and no broadcast band. It gives a
considerable improvement in image rejection on the higher bands. The
XTAL takes care of the selectivity lost by the higher IF.


Either it is, or it isn't.

....unusual.
....somewhat rare.
....not typical.
....specific to this unit.
....hard to find.

Otherwise, the advice is directly on point.
