the sliders don't come off the sliders, they're either glued on or were
manufactured that way, so it is impossible to take off the front panel to get
behind it where the circuit board is. Oh well.


They are glued. Remember, this is the worst grade of mass-market trash
available at the time; it's not designed to be actually repaired. Pry
them off with a screwdriver.

I suspect you will find that there is a bunch of stuff on the board that
you haven't seen yet.


I can see most of what is on it from various holes around the side, and I can
certainly tell there are no ICs from the back of the circuitboard, if that's
what you were alluding to.
