If you are lucky you will only spend $100.00 to $150.00 but you will still have to have a servince monitor a sinadder and adjust it to several setup frequencies found in service manual. Service equipment to repair scanner $20,000.00 NEVER TURN ANY PARTS OR SPREAD OR CLOSE THINGS THAT LOOK LIKE SPRINGS. Your radio receiver will need to be repaired by trained service techs. Your best option now would be send it back to radio shack for factory service.

RS has a $60.00 standard rate for service. Plus you will pay the cost for parts and shipping.
Take scanner to local RS store, they will send it to service and service department will call you regarding total cost prior to doing the work.

There is also a $20 fee to have the radio looked at. If you decide to have it fixed, the $20 will be credited towards the final repair cost.

T2 Broken

You broke IF coil T2. That coil is not available and even it it was available you need special desoldering
equipment to remove the broken coil from the multilevel double sided pc board. You can order the linear
pc board from a Radio Shack store for $159.

Generally, if something is "not working quite right" it is NOT a tuning issue. Components do age over time requiring replacement (usually these days, with $$$ the big issue in repair departments, that means "board replacement" not parts replacement). And that is a transformer not a potentiometer. It is a couple of coils or one coil wound on a cylindrical form, with that red tuning slug (ferrite material in a round, screw-like configuration) going into and out of the can to vary the resonant frequency of the coil or transformer. Not having a schematic, I can't tell you what T2 tunes or what frequency it should be tuned to. You would need a desoldering station, magnified lamp, anti-static mat, small thin solder and several small hand tools to fix this, assuming you could obtain the transformer. I have had some success, (repeat, SOME) in desoldering the can and leads and removing the can from the board and removing the cracked/broken pieces of ferrite slug material from the can and then finding a new slug and hoping it's characteristics were close enough to those of the original slug to work as a replacement. It it highly risky to repair, but it can be done. Good luck.
