tom housing).

SE RVICING ESCUTCHEON COMPONENTS

Certain mechanical components can not be removed and replaced without removing the escutcheon insert. The
insert ls removed by doing the followlng:
A) Remove all knobs except function switch knob.
B) Gently pry insert upward in different areas until it is free of adhesive tape holding it down.

(Avoid touching this tape so that it will still retain its holding power when re-assembling to escutcheon).
With the insert removed, the screws that hold the slide switch assembly are accessible. The hex nut holding the
record level control (festival 2) is also accessible.
All other components can be removed and replaced without removing the insert, but the escutcheon assembly has
to be disassembled from the bottom housing.

REMOVING THE ESCUTCHEON ASSY
The top housing should be removed first as per previous instructions.
There are two hex nuts that hold the escutcheon assy to the housing. They are located in access holes in the bot-
tom of the housing. After these nuts are removed the escutcheon assy can- be tipped backward until the front
skirt is free of the front slot in the housing. It can now be lifted off the support bosses.

CAUTION: This panel is connected to the main unit by wires and cables - do not break connections.

When re-assembling be sure all wires are free and cannot be pinched.
