SB dial question

[Mark Johnson/Ontario/IBM]

I don't think its that tough...The key is reading the manual for an
understanding of how this works and then dive in. Its not tough. The key I
found, is to remove the front panel first. Just remove the knobs,remove the
nuts and washers from the controls,  remove the nut around the phone jack,
unsolder the mic connector, remove the two chrome phillips screws at the
top and away you go...Very easy and makes working on the dial a snap.

To reassemble, just revers the process...Read teh manual for how to install
teh front bezel and the hairline adjuster.....

With a bit of practice, you can remove the front panel in about 10
minutes.......

Hi Mark...

You're in for a REAL TREAT(!)

All I can suggest is that you follow the instructions in the manual to the
letter...and don't get discouraged!

I absolutely HATE working on those things.

Good luck!
