Tandy TRS-80 Model 4

[Michael B. Brutman]

I received a TRS-80 Model 4 from Erik Klein (thanks Erik!) that needs a 
little care.  The machine hasn't been opened in 25 years, and it's a bit 
grimy.  The keyboard barely works, and the drives probably need 
disassembly and cleaning too.

I have the Sams Computerfacts for the Model 3, which should be close 
enough to the Model 4 for the type of work I'm going to be doing.  Any 
words of advise before I crack the case open and void the warranty?

I plan on taking lots of pictures as I go to avoid forgetting how things 
go back together.  I'm also going to be cleaning the inside of the 
machine as best as I can, keeping well clear of the CRT which I 
understand might try to kill me.
