Getting closer to the 02 and 03 modules where I can work on them. I decided to remove the 04 Module (FM Tuning) since it just unscrews and unplugs from the top cover and 03 module. The 04 Module doesn't have any components to recap or change but it will be convenient to have it out of the way.

The whole top side of the 03 Module can now be seen. Note I shot this pic with the display inner plastic cover still in place.

Only the blank aluminum panel remains on the Beomaster cover now. To remove it I removed the two holding screws under the front edge of the BM6000 (from underneath the unit). Removing these two screws would allow the panel to come off.

Removal of the inner plastic display cover gets me to the top part of the 02 Module.

With the display section glass panel removed and the Beomaster 6000 lid again tilted up like a car hood, you can see several black plastic tabs on the inside (back of the lid) that hold the secondary light panel cover in place. Those all need to be loosened so the inner, plastic cover can be removed.

Before doing anything more on the volume/tone control section I switched back to the right side and removed the glass cover to the displays. It removed similar to the switch panel...it lifted and slid out from cover.

With the cover removed you can access the volume and tone control switches to deox them and clean out any dust.

I figured that the next steps will be to remove everything on the front of the top/lid to get to the boards and controls underneath. The boards I need to get to for some recapping and the IC8 replacement (on the 02 Module). The volume and tone controls so I can deox the controls. So starting with the volume and tone control cover assembly - there are

I decided to be brave and expose the actual keypad button as Olly suggested....just one button though - the standby button. I figured it was probably used quite a bit. I peeled back the tape that covers the keypad buttons from the corner where the standby is. Using some tweezers I gently eased the top of the button out. I made sure not to disturb the

As Olly suggested, the keypad panel can be disconnected and removed. This picture shows that. The two connectors have to be unplugged with the Beomaster lid opened up. The connectors can then be reached without too much diffuculty from the other side (of what this picture shows). Once disconnected, the wires and plugs can be navigated through the slot
