Panasonic RX-5085 - any "videos" to aid disassembly?

[ddfamf88]

Hi all - first post here. Checked through the forums but couldn't find anything. I would like to disassemble and clean my wife's old Panasonic RX-5085. I purchased a "dead" one from eBay for practice and totally mangled the removal of the front from the back. Would like to see if anyone can offer any videos or tips on this beast?

Thanks for looking!

Apparently you didn't search well enough:

I have one in like new condition. It is easy to disassemble and work on.

Ambience feature makes it special and sound excellent!

You are correct; I missed that one! After watching the two vids, I examined the screws on my "broken" unit - 4 had a "residue" of some type that kept them from turning easily (had to force them) and the front knobs and switches had little resistance to removal; all likely indicating that the unit had been apart previously.

And of course I did miss the two Allen screws in the front.

Excellent help there on those videos! Appreciate it!
