The green goop is something I picked up at a RadioShack store. It is called CyberClean. I remember something like it back in the eighties (I think) that was sold as a toy....called Green Slime or something. It does a good job. I had been using it to clean keyboards as it isn't a liquid and picks up pretty much everything it touches. I don't

I did do some cleaning...in the following pictures of the push button assembly apart I used the green goopy stuff to remove dirt and dust. I'm trying to determine if I am brave enough to peel back and mess with the little pop buttons. If I do, are there exposed areas to use Deoxit on? After the buttons are cleaned will the black sticky tape be used

I realized it is already tomorrow so here are some pictures of my start on the front cover components. I am starting with looking at the switch button assembly. The instructions I had were pretty clear but until you actually attempt to take these things apart in person it always seems tricky. The pictures here show the plastic tabs (be careful with

Tommorrow I will start looking at how to dissassemble the components under the top cover.

Not to leave any of the lower chassis recapped boards out - here is the 16 Power Supply Module

Here is the recapped 06 Motor Control Module reinstalled. I forgot to mention during the recap that the C7 electrolytic capacitor in the back (10uF, 63V) was not recapped. I did measure it and it was between 10uF and 11uF. There wasn't a replacement for it in the upgrade kit.

Recapped 08 and 09 modules reinstalled

Recapped Modules 07 and 14 reinstalled

I'm getting close to the halfway point I think. I will reinstall the recapped bottom chassis boards then start on the boards under the top cover. That is where the display IC replacement, the volume control belt replacement, switch deoxidation and some more recaps will take place.

If you want to replace all of the electrolytic caps on the 14 Module you have to open up the metal box. The picture here shows the 14 module before and after the caps were replaced. One cap - C7, 3.3nF, 63V - was not replaced.
