Been a while since I worked on that chasis for that problem but I seem to
recall it was very similar to the older 177 chasis, the eeprom becomes
corrupted and caused low or no audio.  Believe the eeprom for that chasis
was a kit with the large processor being changed at the same time.  If you
have a old chasis laying around try subbing out the eeprom.  Sorry so
vague.  Terry
