I've replaced a couple of those 1009 blocks. Both times with an OP-42 
op-amp on a bit of strip board made so that it connected directly to the 
solder pads of the now removed 1009 block on the main board inside the 
3604-P.

Pin 2 of the old 1009 block now goes to pin 2 of the OP-42, pin 3 goes 
to pin 3 of the OP-42. Pin 6 goes to pin 6 of the OP-42. Pin 9, the 
positive supply, goes to pin 7 of the OP-42. Pin 7, the negative supply, 
goes to pin 4 of the OP-42.

I also added a couple of 100nF polyester caps from the supply pins of 
the op-amp to 0V, pin 8 of the 1009 block.

You can ignore the trimmer so leave pin 5 unconnected.

Probably not a job for someone who hasn't tinkered with these sorts of 
things before though.
