Philips B5X23A - removal from case! - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

We cannot get this chassis out of the case. Does anybody out there know the trick? Despite having repaired this radio several years ago - I don't know how the hell I managed to get it out of its case back then.

The reason for the chassis removal is to revisit the on/off switch bodge that I left in situ when I repaired the radio last. The switch does not turn off or on - mainly because some mechanism seems to be missing to move the paxolin actuator. Anybody having repaird similiar, your advice would be greatly apprecialted.

Cheers

Ian.

OK, the chassis is out now

BUT, the problem has been identified as a missing spring.. It is a small thing, but as it is missing I have no idea what it looks like. Any help identfiying and replacing it would be very helpful.

Many thanks
