One thing I forgot to metion in my last reply...
To take the monitor section of the 5155 apart you need Bristol Spline
keys. These are not common, at least not in the UK. Torx drivers and Allen
keys will not fit.
Thanks for the warning! That would have taken me by surprise. I don't think
they're common anywhere... but I'm also a military radio collector with a bunch of
Collins gear, so I already have a set of Bristol Spline keys!
You need tamperproof torx tools to take the PSU apart,
BTW.
I may already have the right ones, and if not then I'll order them from McMaster-Carr.
I'll want to dig in there to make sure that none of those danged Rifa brand
paper-dielectric EMI filtering caps are lurking inside.
