P3 radio removal

I have just re-joined the RSR after a lapse of many years and would appreciate advice from anyone who has experience of removal of the original radio from their P3 75. There appear to be many screws, nuts and bolts, all, or some of which could be relevant to the exercise but it would be helpful if a...
