3/ Disassembly/Assembly Procedures
The TANDY 6000 Microcomputer is designed for table-top
operation. Dimensions of the main housing assembly and the
keyboard assembly are given in Technical Specifications,
Section 2. A desk assembly may be used that allows mounting
of optional extra disk drives used with the TANDY
6000/6000-HD system. Adequate space should be left around
the unit to allow sufficient air flow to all components.
If the TANDY 6000 has the fan enclosed in a metal housing on
the back of the access panel you need to follow the
disassembly and assembly instructions in the Model 16B
Service Manual (See Figures 5-2 and 5-3). Otherwise, follow
the disassembly and assembly instructions contained in the
following procedures (See Figures 5-4 and 5-5). Exercise
care in handling the Top Cover and Bezel/CRT Assemblies to
prevent scratching or marring the surface finish.

power cord. Remove peripheral cables (if required).

to prevent scratching the painted surfaces.
