Help for a blind audiophile


I just purchased an internal MM phono board for my Creek Destiny Integrated Amplifier, but I'm having a devil of a time figuring out how to install it. I'm blind. I can sort of tell where it goes -- toward the left end of the amp as you are facing it from the front (with the cover off, of
course), and I'm guessing that it is supposed to go to the right of that little dividing wall, though I could be wrong there. On what I'm calling the dividing wall in the preamp, there are little plastic things that stick out on the left, with metal opposite them, while the board has a similar arrangement. Does this thing slide down (on one side or the other) with the prongs fitting into the holes in the base, or do the prongs go into place first and the board then snaps into place? Which side of the board faces which side of the wall? I'm at a complete (and frustrated) loss. I've never installed a computer board, so I don't really have a frame of reference on this. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks for the kind idea, Wendell. But I've got a geek friend at work who should be able to do this for me, though probably not for a couple of weeks.(He don't know much about stereos, but he is good with computers, so I doubt this will be a problem for him.) Because I'm both impatient and stubborn, I thought I'd like to give it a try myself. I took a shot earlier, but I've given up for the evening. I've got an an external phono pre if I want to spin the black circle, though right now I'm playing a John Wesley Harding CD. Thanks, again.
I really do appreciate all of these kind offers -- and if I had a half a brain in my head, I'd try to find someone in my area -- but I really was hoping that someone could tell me if metal faces metal or if metal hooks into plastic -- and if this thing is supposed to slide down or snap into place. I'm betting that I could do it -- if I only knew how it is supposed to be oriented. But I don't want to keep trying if I've got it facing the wrong way or on the wrong side. Thanks.
