Well, last night I logged a total of 25 caps that will be replaced, but will double check.
Some of these proceeded to fall apart as I turned them to read there values.
I came across one that was no longer attached at one of its leads. I think I know where it goes.
I purchased a downloadable set of schematics from Samswebsite (link below) for an Opus 7. What I received was a schematic for an Opus 6.

I've emailed them, asking for the appropriate set. Will let you know what happens.
I'm really at a loss as how to work on the chassis with the bottom up.
I believe the antenna to be too fragile to allow it to bear any significant weight.
Thanks for the help!
