<DIV>Well, like Jim Brown once said of gaining 1,000 yards rushing in a fourteen-game season - as opposed to when he used to do it frequently in only twelve games - "It's like walking backwards."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The first time I dove into a 2400c, I was already well-versed in the insides of Wallstreets, Kanga/3400s, and everything that came before it. I thought that would prepare me... NOPE!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>:-D</DIV>

<DIV>I never missed Torx-8 screws more than when I first tore down a 2400c! Man; screws, screw, screws!! Here, there, everywhere! Some vital, some totally unnecessary! I used to draw the outline of a 2400 on a few pieces of paper, then lay out the screws on the paper so that I might have some sort of screw matrix for the reassembly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But following a few online resources - including this list - it was all manageable, as long as I went slowly and carefully.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, I can strip one down and back blindfolded. But at first? Yes, it was daunting...</DIV>
