2000X Help Needed

I found a 2000x in pretty good shape today. the "only" problem is that it won't turn on. I checked the speaker fuses and one was blown so feeling more confident that it would be an easy fix I went to check the fuse that controls the voltage. It has a plastic lid with a Phillips head that was already slightly stripped. When I tried to turn it, it got totally wallowed out.

How can I get this open?

Thanks.

1/8" drill bit.Drill just deep enough to pop off the screw head.Remove the plastic cover-check fuse- while fuse and cover is removed try grabbing whats left of the screw with a narrow vicegrip or needlenose pliers and try to extract screw-If sucessful,find a replacement screw and replace.
 
I might not have been very clear. The fuse cover (I guess it's called the voltage selector assembly) has a cross in the top to insert a Phillips head screw driver. That is destroyed. I don't have the unit in front of me to take a picture and can't find a photo online.

I suppose that I could still drill it out and hope to find a replacement some where.

The cross is not designed for standard Philips head screw driver. Try using a flat head screw driver. If the cover is tight at all a Philips will chip it. You could try some freeze spray as it might help shrink the cover, just a thought but I have never tried it.

What is the cross designed for? I will try a flat head.

Anyone know where I can find a replacement?

Thanks,

Chad
 
Disreguard.I see what your talking about now....Replacement part...:scratch2: Ebay parts unit...
 
My guess is that the cross is designed for a flat head cross driver or if one slot chips out with a single flat head you still have another to remove it?
Just my opinion but NEVER use a Philips head driver on this fuse cap.

That's what I have. It was already kind of rounded out and I totally rounded it out. It was probably stored in a garage or somewhere and the plastic got brittle in the AZ heat over the last 40 years.

You say no problem, but here is a picture of mine. :tears: If I take the receiver apart can I take the whole fuse holder off from the back?

There is a nut inside and you can remove the whole fuse holder.
You can also drill two holes in the cap and use a needle nose plier
to unscrew and remove the damaged cap.
