Taking apart AMP MATE for updates

[robinzon]

I have an AMP MATE that I purchased off of SH forum. At any rate its a slightly earlier version and the previous owner had the updated parts sent to him (step motor and a sensor board). I installed the stuck case switch other than that it seems changing out other parts would require disassembly of the unit did anyone do that ? I wonder the best way to proceed or should I even bother. I would also need the updated ramp that I dont have etc. to be worth opening the unit... I have not tested it with the annealer during annealing yet so..... I am not sure if I should even install the parts if it works just fine.

I saw that.... I am aware of the parts, I wanted to see if anyone taken one apart on video perhaps or in pictures.

Yeah it was tough at the time for me to actually video the replacement of the parts but if you watch the whole video it’s actually pretty simple in terms of where they go and what it takes. I had all of the parts changed out in less than probably 20 minutes. It’s actually not bad as long as you have just a couple basic tools.
