That's all I had to do on this one was replace 4 caps and fix a few broken wires on the loop antenna. A bit of a pain as the wire is very small. The original battery was a 226 which looks like a C cell with snaps on each end and it's 9v. The newer 9v battery would fit but it would put a bit of stress on the plastic cabinet. So I used a pair of vice-grips to shrink the width of the battery. It wasn't very pretty but now I've got a bit of space in the battery space with out stressing the case.
