Rick does a great job and picks up all the widely known issues. I shipped mine to him from the UK and back.

?So, my trusty 8920A decided to groan and stink now when it¡¯s turned on versus booting into normal operating mode.
Leads me to believe it¡¯s cap replacement time and/or a few other parts. So, extracting the power supply module appears to be hindered due to the On/Off switch extension ¡°pushrod¡± going to the front panel. What¡¯s the magic trick to disengage it and get it out of the way? I didn¡¯t fiddle with it, lest I break it, thinking the collective on here has been through this several (many?) times. Or box it up and ship it to Rick? I¡¯m perfectly comfortable with installing new caps if I can get the darn module out to work on it.
