To free the main PCBA, unplug all of its interconnect cables.
At one end of the assembly there are six connectors to unplug,
shown here.
I always use a Sharpie® to color code where the cables go, and which way.
This speeds up the reassembly.

Nearby, there's a nylon cable tie you need to cut,
shown here.
|
|
With the cable tie removed, you see another connector to pull.
By the way, the blade of a screwdriver can help pry apart any tight connectors.

|
Along the front of the circuit board are two LED connectors to unplug. One is shown here.

This photo shows six cables (including a little red one) that connect the
main PCBA to the preamp tubes.
It also shows a couple more cables to unplug.

Once all the connectors are unplugged, the PCBA can be backed out of the 6505+
chassis and repairs can begin.
