The inside is peculiar, because almost no wiring is used. The components are board mounted, soldered directly to the PCB without wires, and the connection between the boards is made by socket contacts when the set is assembled. A bit strange, because in this way it is virtually impossible to measure or test the set while dismantled. A common problem with the 7100 was also my problem: defective backup capacitor causes the memory to drop all its content from time to time! I replaced this so-called gold cap of 0,22F (left edge of middle circuit board). Unfortunately the problem returned after some time, probably because the gold cap is damaged by the charging power of 12V.
The tuning rotate knob does not always operate well, I opened the set a few times to resolder its connections after I dropped the set and it landed on this button. I applied a minor mod (a wire bridge over the lamp button) so the lamp will always be ON.
