[TenTec] Has anyone taken off a Scout front panel?

[Kevin Anderson]

Has anyone taken off the front panel of a Scout?  In particular, anything I should know about dealing with the concentric knobs?

I need to get access to the SPEED/RIT switch, as it functions in the RIT direction, but not to activate the SPEED settings. Either the switch itself is off center and the edge of the front panel opening is interfering, or bad connection, or bad switch itself.

I took the top and bottom covers off, and took off the inner knob of one of the concentric knobs, but I am not sure what to do next. Being that parts are plastic, I don't want to just start grabbing things with pliers or other tools unless I have some clue what I am doing.  My goal is to gain access to the back side of the front panel so I can check out the switches.  Or is it easier to remove the speaker plate and go in from above?

Thank you in advance for advice. I am not very experienced in this compartment.

Cheers/73,
