Hello, I'm VERY new to this, I'm glad I found a community that can help (if anyone can).  

I have a 1935 66B that belonged to my Grandfather or perhaps my Great Grandmother.
It needs a lot of TLC, but it seems to work. (Yes, I plugged it in before I knew I shouldn't, luckily I dodged a bullet.)  
The dial light still lights and sound came out of the speaker.

A long time ago I used to work on basic electronics, so I'm going to give it a go and see if I can restore it. 

The first thing I want to do is take the chassis out of the box to give it a good cleaning.  Is there a right way (or a wrong way) to take it apart?

Larry
