Or the actual service bench experience? Seriously, one need
only to look at the front of the box to know it's
freq-synthesized, computer-controlled, Rube Goldberg machine
that is actually quite reliable as a basic design. A dip in
a range of freqs requires failure of certain circuits, but
they would fail in ways which are inconsistent with this,
like completely. One manual has massive Yes-No flow charts
for trouble isolation. This symptom's not even in there! A
shop can check flat response in minutes, but they like to
charge the full hour in the States, like everywhere else
there's a diagnosis fee these days.
