Philips GM 6012 millivolt meter

[JoeAlders]

By trying to detect why a Philips GM6012 millivolt meter does not work, I have to dismantle all the shields on the outside.
Does anybody know how I can do that? At this moment I only could detached the backside of the GM6012.
youtube did not gave me any hints.

In such cases I usually take all the screw out that could be relevant for a dismantle.
Here's a site with a lot of pics that might help you:

Edit: Down that page you'll find two manuals that describe how to disassemble the unit.

Thank you Hugo, yes, I was aware of that wonderful site of Jan Poortman! I fact, if you visit his site and then navigate to "Ir. G. Hofstedeschool MTS", then go to
the "reunie" pictures, you will notice a person called Joop Alders........ Who on earth is that?

The only problem is that Jan did not show how to dismantle the GM6012 but only showed the result. But anyway, I have emailed him for help.
Will keep this Forum updated.

This should help.

Thanks rayma, did already downloaded this pdf but unfortunately it does not document how to dismantle the case so I can have access to those pcb's inside.

Seems each panel just unscrews individually.
The manual discusses all of this, see pages 16-17.

PHILIPS... Why go simple while we could go complex ? This could be their motto about thier vintage audio equipment : a Philips item always had some specialties of its own in its design !

Wow! I must have completely overlooked this! Will have a close look at those pages!
