REPLACING A CHANNEL ASSEMBLY
If it is necessary to remove a channel assembly for service or replacement proceed as follows: Pull off the associated knobs.
Remove the potentiometer nuts using an 11mm nutdriver. Avoid scratching the control panel. Remove the ribbon cable
harness. Cut the solid wire earth busbar either side of the channel to be removed as shown below. Remove the associated fader
or desolder the fader wires as required.
When replacing the assembly make sure that the potentiometers, switches and LED indicators are correctly aligned with the
slots in the control panel. Check also the correct assignment of the Group and Stereo assemblies. Reconnect the earth busbar
by overlapping the wire where cut and soldering together. Use sufficient solder to ensure good joints.
