I’m going to touch up all 16 of the display header pins. What a bad place for a soon to be 83 year old duffer to be soldering. Why couldn’t that bave been added to the display board before mounting?
It can be, assemble the front PCB, 16 pin connector and display using bolts and nuts between the display and the front PCB.? Solder the 16 pin connector pins to the display only.? This does the inaccessible contacts without the front panel in the way.? Disassemble and reassemble with the front panel, spacers, display, nuts and front PCB.

You can also disassemble it when it's all assembled, remove the rear nuts then unscrew the screws, taking care that the various spacers and nuts aren't turning.? Just take your time.? I know because I also missed a soldering one of the pins.
