Right now, I want my receiver to work again, but I don't have the knowledge, tools, or time to fix it myself. I believe this board would walk me through a complete refurbish, but I still don't have the time or tools. I'm not planning to trade off the 7600. I will likely get a chance to completely restore her in the future, but I can't afford to pay someone to do that now, and I can't do it myself now. I also think my initial poking around should be through the guts of something I care a little less about. I looked at some "cleaned up and working well" 7600s up for sale on the webs and the prices have gone a little crazy. I guess all the 9600s got bought up.
