The Heavy-6 (now resurrected in polycarbonate)

It gets easier with time. The Heavy-6 must have been my 5th or 6th FC660C disassembly and I was done in an hour.

Mainly, I’d suggest

  1. Get rid of the screws super fast (a magnetic screwdriver helps here). Just go at it. Don’t think. See a screw? It’s going out

  2. When applying domes, you don’t need to get them perfect on first insertion. You can shave a good chunk of time if they are just kinda sorta aligned (and then you can push them in later)

  3. When applying springs, just drop them into the domes. A magnetic screwdriver helps quickly pick up the springs

  4. Finally, when all domes and springs are in, now you can spend time aligning them to perfection

  5. I’d suggest lubing the actual PCB as this implicitly lubes the springs, quietens the board, and keeps everything in place/from sliding around once everything is assembled

  6. A magnetic screwdriver really helps speed up the process of putting everything back together again
