After fixing the aerial earlier I thought I may as well have a proper look at this.
Firstly I would disagree with the manual that after removing the screws the chassis "May now be removed from the top without difficulty."
The major stumbling block I've encountered is de-soldering the transistors as the legs are in pipes. Neither a sucker nor braid seems to shift them and I'm starting to think that if they get much more heat put into them there'll be no point testing them. Is there some technique of which I'm unaware?
