There are two screws under the rod antenna, another one hidden under the foam in the battery compartment and one hidden under the stickers opposite the aerial underneath at the back. If you warm the sticker first it won't get ruined when you peel it off (maybe...).

You will have to remove the PCB from the casework bottom to reach the height control. You can wriggle it out once the plastic holder for the speaker has been removed, disengaging the shafts from the line and frame hold makes it easier. Make sure that the tube base wires don't short out on anything and that none come adrift, there are lots of volts up there and the ICs will be ruined if anything shorts.
