Hi, and thanks again guys
! Good idea, I must have some old foam somewhere. Matress foam, maybe?
Next one I'll use less/narrower leverage and more patience, even if it worked out without breaking. The double sided tape
will let go, eventually. It is beginning to deteriorate too, btw (made 1987). The rear of the plinth may need some cleaning, the tape isn't sticky anymore. I'll post a pic of the rear too when I can take one. I did mark orientation just like you, and will do the dust job once I get my compressor out of storage
. But the tricky part is done, - couldn't have done it without the help I found here.
For reassembly I intend to follow described procedure: put som guides in the screwholes and lower into position using the guides. Since the tape isn't that sticky anymore,
I wonder if I should replace it? The cleaning may be difficult/risky near the coil, and I wonder if extra tape may put it out of position?
