"Radiorgan" Dilemna
#9

Hey Ed,

I tried working the tabs so that removing them wouldn't be necessary, but the boards - ultimately - seemed too fragile to risk it. So, I took my Dremel and a sharp-pointed stone grinding bit and knocked down the tabs to the point they were flush with the board surface. This left a "post" on which to re-mount the boards. I used a razor blade directly under the board edge to loosen, then inserted needle-nose plier points underneath and expanded them to gently push the boards off of the post. After a thorough cleaning, light sanding of the switch connections and replacement of the fiber switches, I used a very thin line of clear glue to hold the boards after popping back onto the posts. It's very tight and I figured the clear glue would be easly enough to slice through if the boards ever needed removing again. Wiped off the bakelite with a little dab of 3M hand glaze and all looks good as new!

Best Regards,

Joe
