What really gave me the chills was that it looked like the entire tuning mechanism (see assembly manual pgs 98-100) would have be disassembled in order to get at the escutcheon and dial window.. Once at the point where the dial window can be seen, the pictorial pic of the dial window doesn’t show any attaching hardware to hold it to the escutcheon…. looks like the window may be firmly affixed to the escutcheon – as in glued ??!! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please tell me I’m way off base.
