Question Astro Spectra Control Head Question

Is there any particular way to add/remove buttons from an Astro Spectra W9 Control head? or do they just pop on and off? I didnt want to go prying and tear something up....

Take it apart. It's not that hard. There are T10 screws on the back unscrew them. Remove cover underneath there is a circuit board with more T10 screws on it. Remove the screws and you are at the buttons. The hard part is trying to keep all the buttons in place while putting it back together. Don't for get to reassemble in reverse order.

There is no need to disassemble anything....it is seriously easy to pop them in and out with a set of needle nose pliers.

The proper way is to disassemble the control head. It's just a bunch of screws and everything pops out.

It's very easy as KG4WHM said and you don't risk scratching or wrecking anything.
