Yes. Note that there is a grounding spring on the metal partition that must be positioned properly upon reassembly if you pull the shaft completely out. Which you don't need to do in order to drop the front panel. Remove the knob and the two screws from the detent mechanism on the rear panel, and pull the shaft back just enough to clear the front pane. >Will the PTO also swing up?

It should, but there are a LOT of wires there. >Question two. >In reference to Garey Barrells (K4OAH) archived comments on reflowing the >main board pin solder, if you have done so, did you have the main board >removed (my guess) , or try to do between the metal partitions? The main board soldering problems I have seen have all been Molex pin connectors, which you access from the bottom. No need to pull the main board, for any reason that I can think of. Even the parts of the main board (a.k.a. "Parent Board") that have parts and circuitry on them are relatively easy to reach. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.
