Removing Strap Fittings On Roberts R66 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I have the R66 with soldered strap fittings. Definitely no nut on the inside.

I was wondering how I am going to get them off and then back on again.

Any help?

Thanks.

Just unsolder them from inside the cabinet and they will pull out. If I remember rightly they are retained by flat washers soldered to the pivot shaft.
Refit by reversing the removal procedure.
