A bit more reading has lead me to believe that the internal fuse (which
I was not able to find on the schematic) is for the external tuner
interface.
My days as a bench tech were a few decades ago (Wang Tewksbury) and I
lack anything beyond a cheap VM. I'll going to be bold and pull the
covers off today and have a VERY CAUTIOUS poke around.
In the meantime, I've got my eye on a IC-756proII on Craigslist for a
decent price... <sigh>
Thanks & 73, Jim.
