I have just looked at your first photo again and can just make out that what you are referring to looks like 2 paxolin strips mounted one above the other on brackets fixed to the chassis. The components are mounted across this with their leads inserted into holes and bent around the paxolin strip. I have to admit to not seeing this arrangement before.
Can somebody please confirm what the correct term is for this type of "tagstrip"
Personally I would just snip the faulty component out, leaving some of the component wire on the tagstrip, then solder in the new component onto the snipped ends of the original component. If the soldered joint is properly tinned and overlapped by 5mm or more then it will be reliable.
Do you know the model number of the radio yet, and can you please tell us.
Photos, Photos, Photos, - but please reduce the pixel count size to something sensible like 1280 x 1024 even a clear photo 800 x 600 can show an awful lot.
Thanks
