To the helpful ham whose email I lost--the computer rebooted while reading your
message--thanks for the tip. I was able to remove the front panel--but now
getting the old power switch out seems to be a trick too as the spacing between
the front and next metal panel is minimal and I don't see how to remove the
metallic push-button from the switch. Hoping you can assist again. TNX Rick,
K1DS

Subject: help to remove front panel FT736

I am trying to replace the power switch on my venerable Yaesu FT736R. I have
removed all the appropriate screws and knobs.The front panel appears to be
still attached centrally with the smaller panel surrounding the main tuning
knob. How does one remove the front panel and/or central tuning knob or gain
access to the small screws holding the power button in place on the far left
front of the radio?I do have the replacement part. Suggestions welcome--Rick,
K1DS
