Now have the top transport section separated from the lower electrical section, as Peter previously stated it is easy. Just had to use a bit more gentle force plus remove an extra 2 screws from the front frame, that secured down into a metal strip on the electrical section that the push button switches are fitted to.

Then after carefully removing the various connectors, the top section lifts off, giving great access to everything below, including the 2 remaining CR snubbers C34 & C35. I wish my other old Grundigs had this great feature !

Once I remove the snubbers, then the general area will need a good clean up, probably will be difficult to remove the tar like snubber potting compound, some of which has spread over one of the valve bases plus spattered various items etc.
