No but I can I’m adding a PTT to the spare RCA jack in the back and adding a
fan to speaker position.
Have taking apart and put back together so many times it’s easy now.
Oh number 6 -32 screws 3/4 inch long work great to hold display ,just thread
them into board. No nuts required!
Maybe later to night I can post some pics not pretty but works .
