c. If you are really anal, you can now rotate the band switch through all positions and
inspect the switch contact positions for somewhere close to being centered. Loosen the
sprocket set screws and do minor shaft rotations with needle nose for quasi perfection.
Front Panel Removal
Front panel removal is required to change lamp inside drum, replace toggle switches and fix/replace
sprockets.
1. Remove top and bottom covers.
2. Remove front bezel by unscrewing all stainless counter sunk Phillips screws top, sides and
bottom. Carefully pull forward. This was a very tight fit on my 2020.
3. Remove the following knobs: PRESELECT, PLATE, LOAD and BAND MHz.
4. Remove the top Phillips to the right of center that secures the front to the chassis
5. Remove the bottom Phillips to the left of center that secures the front to the chassis.
6. Carefully rotate the front panel forward to clear the PRESELECT, PLATE, LOAD and BAND
MHz shafts. It has hinges on the bottom that allow a 90 degree tilt forward over the edge of a
desk – a very nice design.
7. Be careful rotating the front panel down since the mode switch has exposed diodes on the back.
I had one break off the lug.
