Subject: Re: [PolySix] Removing Polysix cover.

Remove 4 screws on the top front panel, two at each side
Remove 4 screws on bottom read, that secure the panel to the wooden chassis
Lift the front panel carefully open.
Desolder the thick ground cabel that runs from the processor board to the front panel (if it is there)
Unplug all the connectors for cables running to the front panel (Tip: make notes, drawings, photos of what goes where!)

The two small metal rod hinges are removed like this:
the front panel hinges are friction locks, so you need to very gently bend them so that you can safely pass the small metal pin through the hinge. Use a fairly large flat screwdriver poiting in the same direction as the hinge "lip" to bend evenly. It is actually more difficult to explain than do. If you look at it in reverse: how to you mount them back? Well, that is very easy; you just slide the hinges back on the metal rods, and it clicks through with a very gentle force.

Does anyone know a good way to remove the Polysix metal cover/front panel so as to clean it up and paint it? It is hinging on two small metal rods at the ends and a metal latch on the cover wraps around it.
