...I said a silent prayer, crossed my fingers, and reinstalled the RCM-3 in the wall upstairs.
I went back to the basement to turn the breaker back on, then returned upstairs to see what happened.
Thank God, I was rewarded with smooth-sounding music as soon as I turned the unit on and tuned in my SSTRAN signal...

My next move will be to attempt to align at least the AM side; it seems to need it more than the FM side does. Both bands now sound nice and clear; that distortion is gone, and tuning FM no longer includes a scratchy sound as the tuning knob is turned.
Whew!
I am so glad this turned out so well...
...and it should be good to go now for several more years.
