Royal 500L
The Royal 500 Model L introduced in 1964 and was a real step backwards for the 500 series. Although still a sharp looking radio, the output fell back to 100 milliwatts, the speaker was reduced in size, and the quality of sound suffered. It sold for $39.95 and came in three colors: Black with a gold grill, white, and a few in green.

I have repaired many Zenith portables such as the 500H and 285. I want to recap a nice looking 500L I found but I cannot figure out how to remove the dial string assembly to get to the foil side of the top half of the circuit board. Can you help? Thanks
