[GreenKeys] Model 28 disassembly instructions?

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

The video pretty much tells me most of what I wanted to know. The bugger is heavy & I don't have any business trying to lift & move it all in one piece. All I need to do is take it down to two or three more easily lifted parts.

I'm not sure where you're at in disassembly or what you're trying to
do, but you might find this useful; it's me removing the typing unit
from a Model 28 KSR:

Removing the keyboard unit also requires removing a bar that you can
see me removing here:

I don't think I have a good video of removing the keyboard unit, but
after removing the typing unit and that front trim bar, there are just
a few bolts that remove it from its support frame.  The motor unit
then removes easily from the keyboard unit.

Nick England also has a variety of helpful manuals here:

Manuals marked with DR have information you probably want, such
as 573-100-702TC or 573-101-702TC.

Hope that helps!  If you can let us know what you're trying to
disassemble, I or someone else may be able to take photos or a video
to help you out.
