I've got a line on a PB 2400- but it's all apart in a box.  Owner says he
thinks it's all there but.... I don't mind a project but just wondering how
tough these babies are to piece back together.  I've been inside several PBs
in my day but I've also heard that the 2400 is particularly tough to work
on.  The only one I've ever seen is this one so I've got nothing to compare
it to as far as a working unit goes.
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."

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!

:-D

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.

But following a few online resources - including this list - it was all 
manageable, as long as I went slowly and carefully.

Now, I can strip one down and back blindfolded. But at first? Yes, it was 
daunting...
