Congratulations on finding a wonderful calculating
relic.
At each rear bottom corner, there is a screw. It is a captive screw. Use
an appropriate sized
flat-bladed screwdriver and unscrew these screws until they drop down but
don't fall out.
Once the screws have dropped down, slide the cover forward, then lift up at
the rear, and
the cover will come free.
Thanks a lot Rick, I fiddled with it for an hour..
Overall, it seems to be working fine. I brought it up slowly on my variac, over the course
of an hour. At full line voltage (120 RMS), it's drawing about 300mA - this seems good
to me. Aluminum parts of the case are a little spotty, but that should clean up.. maybe a
little Nev-r-dull? The rest cleaned up fine with a rag and some 409.
I do hear a little whine from the CRT's oscillator(s), is that anything to be
concerned about?
Lastly, the blue plastic screen is cracked in two. Any suggestions for a replacement?
Seems like generic blue plexi to me.
Thanks again!!
