Yes, I noticed those but was afraid to go probing around "in there"
without knowing
how that's supposed to work.


You can open it with two small flat-blade screwdrivers, but you'll need
three hands. Insert the screwdriver horizontally until they will go no
further, then pull the handles up while a helper pulls the two halves of
the case apart.


Thank you for that bit of info, I hadn't managed to come up with the
time or material to make anything yet, and had been wondering what to
do with the new tools when I get them made.

There is also a hex-head self-tapping screw (maybe two) under the tilt-
n-swivel stand which need to be removed.



Actually, there isn't, there are 2 locations that look like a good
place for a couple of screws, but instead it looks like there are 2
blank-headed rivets or something, the heads of which are about 3/8 of
an inch in diameter and totally smooth.

There is also a couple of springy elongated u-shaped plastic thingies
along the bottom where the case-parts join; they kinda can be moved
around a little bit if you squeeze 'em but they dont seem to have any
effect on holding things together no matter which way they're moved
around. Maybe after I've got the top separated they'll do something.

Thanks for your help,
Another Mike
