[Hallicrafters] SX-23 Chassis

[Tony Casorso]

Hi all,

Has anybody successfully removed the SX-23 chassis from its cabinet without 
using a sledge hammer or torch?

I am not seeing how it is possible to remove the chassis. There are at least 
3 obstacles. First the bandswitch. Even if you could remove the shaft, the 
bushing would not clear. Then, there are two brackets welded to the back of 
the front panel for holding a trimmer cap and a pulley. These will prevent 
you from pulling the chassis down out of the cabinet. I found the secret 
screws behind the side grilles but I'm still stumped. I think that they 
might have prewired the chassis, then installed it in the caninet. Then 
mounted the bandswitch and wired it all up. The only option might be to 
remove the wiring from the bandswitch, all 10 decks of it. After removing 
the bandswitch, you might be able to pull the chassis out the bottom using a 
small crowbar.

Tell me it isn't so.
