Right...

When I was working on the Z90, I found it helpful to rememebr that it was 
a Z19 with the processor board added (making n H88) and then the floppy 
disk system added after that. And that it was best to remove things in 
the reverse order. Take the floppy drive out first, then the add-on 
boards, then the CPU board and finally the Z19 board, etc.

I assume you were doing this with the machine turned off. In whcih case 
what's the problem with the yoke? It's not a colour CRT so there's no 
real alignment problem if you do slightly move it. There's no stored high 
voltage on the yoke.
