DISASSEMBLY Note: This model contains many screws. During each level of disassembly, keep the screws separated to ease reassembly. If desired, mark the screws and screw hole with different colored markers while disassembling.
1) Remove the cover and the stand. 2) Remove the back cover. With the back cover removed, individual circuit boards can be removed. The ballast assemblies can be accessed by removing the shield covering them. To gain access to the lamps, continue with the disassembly, starting with the support assembly. To remove the support assembly, first remove circuit boards that block the assembly's screws. To aid with reassembly, mark each screw and location with a marker to insure they are used in the correct location. Use a different color marker for each level of disassembly. 3) Remove the Speaker and Control panel circuit boards. 4) Remove the Jackpack circuit board. 5) Remove the screws from the NTSC board and lay it over on the Power Supply board (there is no need to disconnect the board). Now, remove the frame and front of the cabinet.
