Hi Donald, You did not need to cut off the plastic rivets, on the SAT. All you have to do is, push the centre inside, and the rivet prise off with a small screw driver. Before the plug socket is replaced, collect the inserts, and on completion, push in the rivets and insert the centres. I have had to do it to replace a socket, and also when I replaced the battery pack. Regards, John M. Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Price" <dcp2@rmi.net> To: "Piano Tech List" <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2000 3:24 PM Subject: Re: SAT II users > Terry - I have an early SAT which has been upgraded with the FAC and more > memory.
