I have the applicable pages at:

        http://www.serve.com/michaelk/temp/color1.gif (...thru color5.gif)

The first page outlines the proceedure, and the other pages are assembly,
instr. disassembly instr., and assembly diagarams referred to in the 
first page.

I'll leave it there for a little while before I delete them.  They
are not accessable through links on my home page, you have to know 
the "secret" path above.

They are 200dpi B&W bitmaps and vary from 80K to 100K.  Being 200dpi,
they'll be too big to read well on a browser screen.  They should be
saved locally then put into a graphics program of most any sort that
will read a .gif file, and then printed from there (resized, etc as
necessary).

Hope this help you fix it (or help make you decide not to do it :-).
