Other than the big cap block 20 is one of the easiest. Plenty of space.
I guess if you have a designated "stink-tolerant" place you can use a hotplate or other heat device to set it to heat and melt off the guts. Otherwise lots of chiselling and dirty language, plus tar chips that are everywhere and smear readily when stepped upon.

20 (console) was my first radio too.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
