subject: NEED: GI VCRS Component Data

Hello All!
   I have a dead GI VCRS Module that needs a couple replacement
parts in order to power it back up and see if it's going to take
a setup session.
   The model number is "VCRS MOM" with a part# of 74646-1.  
The PCB is labeled ASSY74494 on top and "MP74493-1 REV B" on
the bottom plane.  The ROM version labeled on U28 is V1.1(12).
The Serial Nmbr series is 3117### and the A/N is A0402####.
   What I need are the values of the SMT-component
(looks like res or cap) located on the bottom of the PCB at
x/y coordinate "6.75 x 6.75" (just opposite the battery on
the top side).
   What happened was that the battery took to leaking and the
acid ate the lead off of one end of the component.  Other than
that, the other components look OK and I have neutralized any
acid that might have remained on the board.
   The component at the point mentioned is marked/sized thusly:
(the only difference between this and C71 is the "219" mark)

Any help will be appreciated, and reimbursement will be made
gladly for copy costs on any helpful schematic, pictorial, or
parts list(s) made available pertaining to this unit.
Only thing I need the unit for is to subscribe to SpeedVision,
and I can't see sending it back to GI along with $125 for a
rebuilt unit for just that one program, when I -MIGHT- be
able to do the repair myself for MUCH less.
Sincerely,
           Bruce - kb6lwn@qsl.net - ck@saber.net
