EAR 1960: Removing internal wooden chassis
I have removed the three screws I located (arrows pointing in uploaded image).
I have also taken the volume, treble and bass knobs off the front panel. I cannot see any other means of the interior chassis being fixed in place. Any idea how to lift it out? Actually managing to get safe and decent purchase on it is hard enough, but it is sticking around the areas circled in the other image - but I cannot find any other screws. Should I remove the Collaro deck from the wooden plinth (I doubt I should have to). I know where I should get to ... I have found this old thread: http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=37095 "This is a lovely thing to work on, the whole thing is built on a wooden chassis and can be removed from the box in 1 piece. " Hmmm... |

The deck comes out with the chassis

Re: EAR 1960: Removing internal wooden chassis
Yes I suspected that.
I am really at a loss how to lift it out. I am trying to tease it out with the tops of the speaker surrounds, but I don't want to damage the speaker baffles inside, and the wooden chassis seems stuck around the point where the ac mains flex comes out. I'm wondering if it has been stuck or glued there - but I don't see any evidence of that. As baffled as the speakers at the moment! |

SUCCESS!
With care and resolve I teased it out eventually. My earlier posts in this thread indicate the care and gentle approach. There is a bit of damage to the right speaker cone. It looks like something was spilled on it. Also, at the top edge (at about 11 o'clock on the elliptical speaker shape) there is a tiny tear (pretty positive not caused by me taking it out). What is the best way of treating this kind of damage? |

If the cone is not rubbing on the magnet and it works I would leave it alone.
