This is the 50Mhz and down mod. I myself need the above 50 mod.

All those alergic to surface mount quit now.


The 706 has five diodes on the main board (just to the right of the 
orange ribbon cable connection and to the left of part R-198)
in a row, unmarked. The one you need to remove is D-59, second from the 
left (with the speaker side up and tuning knob facing you.) in that left 
to right row. 
  Caution: removing this diode might disable further mod's (unless you 
can remove it whole and reuse it.) and WILL void the warranty.
Mail me any further mod's you find. 

                This mod. came from a trusted dealer in LA.
                I have not done it yet myself. 

                        
                          Good luck.
