Nice.
I briefly had that same model out of a VERY moldy basement. They're one of the worst sets serviceability wise...I took mine apart to wash the mold out and couldn't believe how difficult the fasteners that hold the chassis and tuner in are to access even with sockets and extensions...It's like they didn't want these to be serviced.
I still kinda regret selling mine before getting it to make a raster, but the mold kinda helped me decide to let it go.

This is what we used "back in the day". Easy to get out, but, unless you magnetized the tips, hard to get back in.

Yes indeed the serviceability is atrocious on this set. About on the level of a predicta. In a way even worse because all of the plastic joinery to the chassis and CRT. It’s real art to get the anode cap on while replacing the chassis. The chassis and boards all flex and short and go intermittent too.

Oh, that brings back memories of the shop I helped out in during Jr. High! The red handle was 1/4" as I recall.

Yup the red handled exlite #8. I had all sizes from stubbies to 3 footers.
Still got a stubby & the 3 foot magnetic. You will have to pry
