The joke in my post was misinterpreted...I've never had the back off mine, and it does not appear to EVER ave been removed in the set's lifetime. It produces a wonderful picture, but the grayscale wanders, the fine tuning drifts, vertical rolls occasionally, and some horizontal streaks occasionally appear...It can be annoying, but has never necessitated me pulling the back. I've always wanted to pull the back to re-seat the modules, spray contact cleaner and touch some service adjustments (which is probably all it needs), but am too lazy...All it needs when it acts up is a slap or two on it's side or for me to kick the bench it sits on, and usually it behaves its self for a satisfactory interval.
I might take Jim up on his taunt.
Of the 2-4 times in the last 4 years my bench has been it's cleanest/most organized that photo is one of them.
....Actually I can't quite take Jim up on that since I've shifted the mess around since he saw it, and could not recreate the EXACT state he saw it in to save my life.
