[SCCC] Need advice - Mark V

[Glenn Rattmann]

I checked the VA3CR website and found this info.  There may be other 
tips in there if you
look around.
Also there may be the service manual on the website, which could have 
info on how to
get in there mechanically.  Sorry, haven't looked specifically.
