Screw placement for AG-1980 VCR?
I honestly know better but didn't do it: didn't take photos as I tore into my K-chassis Panasonic. (Mine is AG-5710, vanishingly similar to AG-1980)
All I have left for reassembly is top/bottom cover and the two layers of front panel (Front Panel, Sub-Front Panel) The four screws for the top are easy. The other three: * Seven (eight in my case) screws for the bottom panel * One screw top-center for the front panel * Four screws (left/right/2 center) for the front sub-panel I have 9 brass screws, 2 large red, 2 small red. I don't want to mess anything up. My guess: brass are for the bottom and top-center of front panel But the four red... not obvious which holes take large and small. Anybody simply know? :) -- merged -- Solved it. * Center of sub-front uses the two larger red screws * Outer sub-front uses the two smaller red screws * Top-center of Front, and bottom panel, use the rest * (AG-5710 has an 8th bottom screw, center-back of the panel) |
When I work on something for the first time I put all screws in small bags and label them with sharpie, I also put the screws back on place after removing the part whenever I can so I don't have to guess later, I learned that the hard way few years ago when I dismantled a Toshiba Satellite series laptop, they used at least 15 screw types in length and shape, pretty strange.

Truly dumb to just start dismantling. |
Don't feel bad, we all do it. :o
In fact, I've done it with an AG-1980 myself. Even with putting the screws in medicine bottles to separate, due to a time lag between starting and finishing, I no longer knew what was what. Extra parts are good, right? :laugh: |
