Can someone help me find my teeth? I lost them when my jaw hit the floor. This is probably one of the best restores I've seen so far. |

It had your typical 4 main bolts holding it in, however, two were in the front and two were in the back. Also, it wasn't one of those were if you took the bolts out, it would stay in place resting on some braces or wood. The bolts were the only thing holding it. It would take two people to remove it. One would have to hold it (supporting all the weight) from the back, while the final two bolts were removed from the front. I looked at every possible way to get it out, and unless I missed something simple, laying it down on its side was the only way I could figure it out. --- End quote --- i got to do the same thing tomorrow! i have a wells gardner k4600 in my gorf that needs a cap kit (well hope thats all!) spent ages trying to figure if posisble to remove the chassis boards without removing the entire monitor. i managed to remove two cards but doesnt seem able to remove the main pcb - anyone know if its possible? it is definitely gling to be a two man job to remove it and quite fiddly at that as there is nothing to take the weight as you remove the 4 bolts. there are also brackets attaching to the side of the cab on the inside. |

You should be able to remove the chasis without removing the whole monitor. Be careful with the width coil that is attached to the frame. You'll need to desolder the wires that are connected to it. Be careful as it is fragile. |

ended up taking the entire monitor out - wasn't quite so hard as i first thought! still need someone to help to hold the monitor in place whilst removed that last top bolt. quite a few wires to disconnect but finally removed the chassis from the tube and flyback. now got to figure how to get the circuit board away from the remaining frame and plastic holder yes i noticed the width coil - seems like a strange design and no connector to allow easy disconnect! |
