I have to say this feels like one of the easiest to work on radios I've seen. When I was cleaning it I had the chassis out on the desk in under 2 minutes, with most of the time consumed by the removal of the dial knob.

Another thing I noticed is that the alignment is pretty damn good, with stations appearing exactly where thy should be. On medium wave at night RTBF from Belgium comes in exactly where Brussels is written on the dial. On long wave BBC 4 is right in the middle of the old "Light" marker; the same goes for RTL from Luxembourg.

@Sideband: yes, that seems like a reasonable assumption. If the radio is sitting to the left of the owner (as it does on my desk) it is possible to tune it like that.
