Rockola 433 GP Imperial

Hi all, I probably already know the answer, but I'd like to check with the "pro's" first. My buddy dropped off a 1966/67 ? Rockola 433 GP Imperial (160 play) that he has had in his garage for awhile. I had re-capped the electronics a few years ago , but he never got it running. I am going to totally go over the mechanism, (rebuild and clean and lube everything). The opening at the back of the machine is too small for the entire assembly to come out in one piece. It looks like I have to remove the record magazine on the left side and the selector drum on the right side in order to get the mechanism out of the back.
I'd like to remove as few items as possible in order to remove the unit, I don't have a manual.
So,... is this the way to go,...or can the mechanism come out of the top ?
Hopefully someone here works on these Rockolas all the time, or is at least familiar with them.
Thanks to all in advance.
Tony

Hi
Lift it out the top, do not disassemble at this stage, you will possibly need to remove the amp/power supply, if they are mounted on the back. A

Hi
Disconnect amp, power supply, speaker connection and keyboard connection
There should be 4 bolts at each corner of the chassis, you will need to remove them, open front door and lift out chassis either from here or from the top

Thanks for the quick response guys,....Nice, I don't have to remove anything.

Everything looks pretty dirty and gummy, should be fun !
