This is the first time I've reworked a G07. Of course I'm aware of the C303 (whatever it was) being improperly marked but there comes a question of replacing the HOT and regulator. What a shitty ass design. I just reworked a K4900 last night and what a piece of cake - two screws - pull - paste insulator - apply and insert new one - put screws back in.
So is there any helpful techniques on how to replace the HOT and regulator on a G07? The HOT appears to be the easier of the two but the regulator - geez louise is that tight quartered and trying to de-solder without burning wires and resolder is even worse.
Then there's the (fold over) mod where you remove a cap, insert new cap and tie in the positive leg of (forget location) to X305. Which friggin side is positive? It's not marked on the board from what I can see?
Lastly - the board is horribly dirty with crusties. Best way to clean it?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
