No dig, no snarkiness. I'm always amazed when Franc seems to pull free
manuals for the most obscure pieces of equipment out of the ether,
seemingly. And no shame in using them.

There are several approaches for replacing thru-hole components in areas
where damage has occurred to the PCB (lifted/missing solder pads, etc).
Often, the long length of new replacement components can be utilized by
poking the leads thru the (component side of board) original holes and
laying the component leads along the stripped/cleaned/tinned copper trace
(solder side of board), and soldered in place.
This method is usually as secure as the original mounting.

If there were severely charred damage at the original thru-holes, a Dremel
or similar small tool could be used to drill thru-holes in undamaged areas,
and make suitable adjustments.

The variety of existing mounting conditions is nearly infinite, in that
there could always be other factors involved in different types of board
assemblies.. nearby components, hardware, heatsinks, obstructions etc.

I'm sure there have probably been millions of repairs made, where
replacement component leads have simply been soldered to associated circuit
points, but the primary factor should always be safety.

Years ago, it was a fairly common practice/shortcut (but somewhat sloppy in
some cases) to clip the leads of a failed axial lead component above the
board surface, and then form small eyelets on the leads of the replacement
component, then solder the eyelets to the stubs of the old component.
This method could result in significant time reduction involved to complete
a repair, where a lot of disassembly would be required to access the solder
side of a board.

http://www.eserviceinfo.com/index.php?what=search2

Shows a free service manual for this model.

I get lots of free manuals from this site.

You have to look closely for the D/L link, it says "click here" but NOT
highlighted near the bottom of the new window that pops up once you click on
the model number. Also multi part manuals are tricky to figure the procedure
for downloading but it does work.
Multipart manuals show as 0 1 2 3 etc. You click on one, maybe click on it a
second time if you use Mozilla - you'll figure it out.

Actually, just downloaded it, looks good and it's in a single 1 meg file. I
will try to email it to you.

If necessary email me at mark_zacharias(a)labolgcbs.net

and reverse the domain to read "sbcglobal" and notice the underscore _
between the first and last name.

I can reply to the email and attach the manual.

Yeah - I guess it bounced, so email me and I can send it to you.
