Im still new to forums so not quite sure how it all works on here yet but it would be cool if there was like a section, or a sticky with intructions on how to dismantle some common items. Maybe make it so only the moderators can post in that section or have like contests where the best written and illustrated (obviously not mine) posts actually get posted. Make it organized enough for a new forum member like myself to find what they want at the click of a button and it might end people like me asking questions and then hours later accidently clicking on what they were searching for and not deleting their repetitive post drowning all the real info in hours of "well i got this but not sure what it is or what to do with it please help" posts.
There could already be a section for that though. Still learning how forums work.
The member you are responding to has passed on in 2016.
The place to suggest possible new thread sections.

I am certain that continued reading of old threads will educate you on your interest and you will learn things you didn't know you should know.
I have been asked several times over the years as a member here why don't you just answer the question directly. Well because I don't really know your situation and the answer is different for depending on your situation. I do give direct answers to some sometimes but to do that always robs a new member of the far more in depth education they will receive by reading more.
Good luck, Mike
