Thought I would share what I did to prevent a major head-ache and possible disaster.
A couple of weeks back when I was removing the under-side of my 500B so I can clean the pots and switches, one of these suckers became undone and fell into the unit.
After cleaning the pots and switches, I put back the under-side, placed the four bolts back in their place, fastened them.
I turn the unit over so I can place it back in its cabinet and I hear a "cling cling" noise. After investigating the source of the noise, I discover one of those suckers had become dis-lodged and fell into the unit. I think they are glued onto the bottom platform.
To avoid any possible damage (short-circuit) this loose piece can cause, I took a precautionary measure and taped it with electrical tape to the underside. After taping, I used a sharp and pointy object to insert a hole into the tape so that when the bolts are placed back they won't find any restriction and thread right through:
Thought I would share an easy way to possibly avoid a disaster.
Thanks for considering.
Cheers.
