To open a thor TA 1000 MK II you first...

I need some help here... my preamp plays well. BUT the IR sensor is pushed back up into the preamp yet again, and is very difficult to get at thru the tiny hole it should be peeking out of....

Anyone out there that can tell me how to open up the TA 1000 MK II so I can get to it better and fix it once and for all?

Using & Bending paper clips to fish it out just ain't working for me

Please, no speculation.

Thank you, I am in your debt.

Tons & tons of thanks.

Got any ideas on how to safely remove that drilled out 'allen', set screw?

The BDR footers don't have exposed screws... so they just twist off counterclockwise, huh?

We found no other screws or bolts readily apparent on the underside of the carriage/body. Just that thing in the middle, and the 3 BDR feet.

Will there be much separation once this is accomplished?

My suggestion is to call Ben Jacoby at High End Audio Repair and see what he says. He just worked on my Thor TA 1000 MK II and he really knows these preamps. Highly Recommended.

His company is called High End Audio Repair and he is in Brooklyn, NY. He was the Service Manager at Stereo Exchange in New York for many years. I found him through google.
