Aloha Lenny, I used to have a typewriter in a case and I could remove the lid. The hinges at the back of the case were made such that I opened the case and slid it to the side and took it away. The top of the case had what looked like the pin that would slide into a door hinge. The bottom half of the case had the long tubular section. The top just slid on and off with ease. I hope I'm been clear.
