Either way, it’s good to know more about these. The other one is 223, so 1975?

That’s a nice surprise! They were a local find I picked up several years ago. Beyond what I knew from the SN (consecutive too) I don’t really know their history.

Success! I was at least able to get the bits of drilled out screw completely out of the terminal. In the meantime my “solution”: They’re switch tips from my guitar parts bin. Just tight enough!

Correct, yeah. I just didn’t want to force it. If those screws are all there is, I have a rubber mallet and can try coaxing it a bit. Felt like a bad idea to blindly start trying to pry it off. Regarding the terminals, I unfortunately had already ordered the two terminal version. Mouser already shipped it too, so I will probably use those at least for now.

Hello all, I’m wanting to swap out the terminals on my mid-70s Heresy I (long story short the heads of a couple of the terminal screws have broken off leaving the stem behind). I ordered a pair of replacement terminals (Cinch 2-142 - appears to be a match) and I have everything I need to do the work, but I have two questions: 1. What’s the best way to gain entry to the cabinet? I poked around and removed the rear screws on one, but it didn’t seem “ready” to come off - I didn’t want to cause damage so I didn’t continue. 2. Is there anything else I should look to do to them while I have them open? Thanks!
