Yes, the PCB came out easily once I realised the front panel came out with it. Haven't spotted any differences in the few areas I've checked.

Out of interest, a previous owner has disconnected the front panel mains switch and put a little 6mm (fixing hole) toggle switch on the back. Don't know if this is a typical failure for the TG102 or maybe a squirt of switch cleaner would've done the job. I shalln't change it back.

As reported in my thread about tants, I've found one of the output amp supply decouplers to be completely short circuit. I plan to pop a modern normal electrolytic in its place and hope this completes the repair.
