Default Marconi 2022C off frequency

Hi

I have just bought a Marconi 2022C, worked OK when it arrived. I was about to use it in anger and suddenly all frequencies below 62.5MHz are way way off (and not stable) that keyed in and displayed on the front panel. I have looked at various other threads on the forum, and the suggestion is that IC2 (OM345) had died. Is there an easy way of confirming this before I dive in with soldering iron etc. (There are two sellers of these on eBay, has anyone used either of them ?)

Cheers
Richard

Yup, measure across all of the pins of the device to ground, if more than one of them shows around 7vdc it is toast

Hi

All now working again.

IC2 had failed, just replaced this with a mmic based one and all is OK . No need to re-calibrate as this is in the PLL circuit

Cheers
