McIntosh MR73 IC-2 AM IF amplifier IC Needed

The signal trace shows a 30+ dB drop from input to output around this IC. Looks to be bad.

Tried contacting McIntosh Labs, but they have not gotten back to me in over 2 weeks.

Does anyone have source for this IC? part # 133-002

Likely Philips, ST, Matsushita or Mitsubishi.
Start there, specify voltage, number of pins and supply volts to filter your choice.
The other ICs may be from same supplier, that gives a clue.

See with a strong light at an angle if you can make out any markings, it always upsets me if a maker has sanded off the markings to protect his circuit information, as most are generic from app notes.

The other issue may be finding one for sale, as AM is not popular any more, at least not in India.
