Preservation and service notes
Use a stable stand and avoid impacts to the suspension/yoke. Clean the grille without immersing it; disconnect cables before cleaning and do not apply solvents to the touch controls.
Record the as-found label, accessories, host OS, driver/firmware version, and test method. Separate observed condition from published specifications; do not treat family-level feature claims as proof of a unit's revision.
