I wish I could help you Robin. The Yamy spinny that I service is a 1968 and I have had to remove the fallboard to ease a few keys - but that was some years ago and I don't really remember the fallboard design. I seem to remember that it was a bit tricky to remove, but obviously, if I removed/replaced it, it can't be all that hard. Just keep looking and removing things....
