These schematic diagrams were reverse-engineered by Allison Cawthon, and may not be 100% accurate, however they should be sufficient to allow repairs to the receiver by a competent radio technician.

"I could not label some component values since it would require removing the caps etc from the circuit to measure them.
Maybe I will find another WEPIX 2000 Receiver sometime and take the risk; I have some hot tweezers for SMT work, and parts are easily removed and replaced.
I may make some changes to the drawings once I do a review, but it is close as it is.
Please just use them at your on risk so to speak, and take reasonable care..
I hope that others can add additional information and corrections as required. "
