disassembling a rx-c52 to change the slide potentiometers

[technoir]

Hello

I bought a panasonic rx-c52 which I really like. It was supposed to work perfectly but you know the story... It looks like the bass, treble and balance slide potentiometers need to be repaired or more likely changed. I can't find the full service manual so I have trouble disassembling the unit.
Can somebody tells me how to procede?
Here's a pic to try to make things easier.

thanks

you need to just take a flashlight and shine it around inside and look for hidden screws that might be holding the frame in. there might also be screws in the back case that go into the circuit board inside.

Thank you for you answer. In fact disconnecting the particular board need does not require to tear the unit apart. I had underestimated japanese engineering, it's not modern garbage.

those bottom ones and the one on the R/H/S of deck are just pin connectors, , they just pull out, the ones at the top just squeeze them together ( flexible clips). hope this helps
