Panasonic really was just slightly ahead of our time. The radio is repaired. The defect caused by the leaking Duracell battery was the 1st. IF coil. It was Open between pins 1, & 4. Shame a radio lasted this long until it met it's fate due to lousy Duracell AA batteries, that ALL leak, causing damage to precious electronics. Making matters worse, unfortunately, the replacement IF coil outlined in the SAMS, is not compatible size-wise. Although it is functionally correct, due to the size of the Miller 8810, the radio cannot be re-assembled. It is just too tall for the application. An original cannot be sourced anywhere, & have been unable to locate anything compatible in production today. There may or may not be a part 4, as reassembly remains at a standstill.
