2. Using a low-wattage (50 W or less) soldering iron, unsolder the leads connected to the present cartridge.
3. Remove the retaining ring from the back of the cartridge, and carefully remove the support ring, cartridge,
washer, and pad from the chassis module.
4. Place the pad and washer on the replacement cartridge and slide the replacement cartridge into the chassis
module. Replace the support ring and the retaining ring.
5. Solder the leads to the replacement cartridge terminals. Refer to the Internal Connections Diagram for proper
lead connections.
6. Insert the chassis module in the case front and the switch button in the case back. Fasten the case halves with
the screws previously removed.
