I am going to remove the RF unit, set it aside, and work on the main chassis before working on the RF unit.

So, some disassembly is in order.

First, the dial scale must be removed.

Using the jaws of a pair of needle-nose pliers, stick each end into the two holes in the metal dial scale retainer, and twist 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

The dial scale may now be removed. Watch out for the tab in the fiber retainer at the bottom of the dial scale - remove the scale gently from this tab, then you can pull the scale off.

Now let's remove this fiber retainer.

It just pulls off. Set it aside with the dial scale.

Now, pull the dial lamp assembly off from the back:

Now it's time to remove the shadow mask. The metal tab which holds the dial lamp assembly is part of this shadow mask, which is why the dial lamp assembly must be removed first. Remove the two bolts holding the mask in place, and remove.
