Hi, There are 2 screws in the rear panel, one small screw on the
underside near the front, one large screw on the right side towards
the rear.
4 screws hold the side panel (IEEE, RS232 or Plotter).

If the case will not slide back itsÂ* probably been bent inwards
somewhere, if its badly dinged then they can be difficult to remove.
DO NOT HAMMER it, you will damage the tube.

If you can fold the handle down on top so the handle is at the rear,
use your thumbs to push the chassis while gripping the handle. This
usually works.

After that put the scope on its side and pull the underside round
handle mount down and back. It might only move a little, do the same
to the other handle mount on top. Repeat. It can take a while! Look
for the chassis binding as you do it, the side panel cutout might
catch on the chassis. Take your time!

Also if you do have IEEE or RS232 side panel, you need to unscrew the
cable strain relief nuts.

Is that because they cause stress and open or short the wires?
