BC-1000 jack cover removal??

Post by retro-roco » Sat Feb 17, 2018 5:08 pm

Is there a special tool (thin wall socket) needed to remove the jack covers on a BC-1000? Not much room between the nut and the cover shell!

great suggestion! I picked up a cheap 1/4" drive deepwell socket earlier today, and after a few minutes of careful grinding, I was able to remove all of the phono jacks! Worked like a charm!
