Here is what it looks like with the cover removed. It is quite dirty in the back portion where the transformer is. Also on the main PCB you can see three white tabs, these are actually hinges. There are two screws you can take out on the PCB (one has the "thingy" as previously seen in the temp screw list post above).
Here is my reference pic for screw placement, also you can see the thingy.
With those screws removed, I can open the main PCB up. Fortunately, no wires need to be disconnected to open it fully.
If you could read my temp screw list from above, tray spot 1 I had crossed something out. Well there are four screws that hold the cover on, and 3 are the same and one is different. This is an indication to me that this unit has been previously serviced and/or (at least) opened. In this picture I took of the transformer area, it would appear that one of the screws for the mount is missing. Not really certain, but that empty hold looks out of place.
While the tape can be put in, and it can "play" and rewind and fast forward, I do not get any meaningful video. I have not tried RF, currently only using composite video output to my PVM. I will have to bring in another deck to act as a go between to see if the RF works. I did not take a video, but generally the video output on composite is some form of what can be seen here:
