Imagewriter II platen removal
=============================
 
Remove the ribbon, the envelope guide card (two screws), the panel with
the switches (2 screws), the legs (one screw each, hidden in the base of
the leg), and the platen knob and control lever for single sheet or pin
fed paper.
 
Now the whole carriage mechanism should be removed. However, it can be done
without removing it.  You have to remove the correct combination of screws
on the knob side so that the platen can be raised from that side.  Then
reach under, remove the label, and use isporopyl alcohol to remove the
adhesive residue from the label.
