I've made a start on the AM side.
All three electrolytics were dodgy so I've changed those.
The first transistor was OK but the second had shorts to all three active leads so, as Mark said above, cutting the screen lead wouldn't have done anything to help that one.
My problem with getting the chassis out was that I didn't know that they sides had to be splayed out a bit and I was concerned I'd taken the wrong screws out or that something was catching which I may damage by pulling.
As the last thing I did was a DAC90a I've been somewhat spoilt with easy of servicing.
