had a similar issue on my 46-1226 run 3,, yours is looking like a run2?
you have to do it,, get the waffer out then make a form out of metal tape then fill in with 5min epoxy. mix in some brown yarn into the butter during mixing to add fiber support.
you intentionally scratch up and etch out the good surfaces on either side of the area you are filling so when you do fill, you overlap your new epoxy.
this is not too bad, it can be done.
you can also just replace the whole waffer by custom making one.
purchase an insulator 1/8'' thick and drill and rivit back in the contacts.
if you know a elecrician he would probably find something from job scraps. you find insulator material in many electronics pieces parts as well.
an old circuit board without any runs would be a good candidate as well, i was going this route but could'nt find a portion of circuit card that was not occupied with circuit runs.
either way,, there is no realy easy way but it can be done... this is a good example of our refusal to let these radios DIE. do whatever it takes to make it sing again.
