Photos will certainly help (shot of the whole TV from the back, with cover off), but most CRTs from that era come apart the same general way. Usually, the mainboard in the bottom of the set just slides out, or is held by a set of plastic clips. Sometimes it is screwed down. Once whatever is holding it in has been removed, it should just slide right out. (Be careful not to snag or damage any cables connecting the mainboard to the rest of the set.) Some sets will need to have the picture control knobs on the front removed first, so the board can slide out. (You can just pop the knobs off pretty easily from the front, most of the time.) The CRT board should just pull right off the back of the CRT neck, but be gentle with it if those solder points look iffy. As for the speaker cabinet removal, photos will help there. I'm assuming there will be screws attaching the enclosures to the inside of the front panel of the set.
