Boy!!!!!!! I would have 'screwed' that up! Bill was correct. Mine were 1/16th inch Allen screws, not Torx as Brian has, and were very easily removed. They appear to be 3mm dia. X 5mm long with a 0.5mm pitch screw, in spite of having a 1/16th inch hex opening.
There were two Phillips head screws underneath that appear to hold the bottom cover in place. On another topic, there is a small opening on the side (near the 'FE'Trademark) with what appears to be a multi-turn pot inside. What is that? Also, the 'sticker' on the top, that includes the 'FE' Trademark, 'FE-5680A', etc., has a 'soft spot' on the bottom edge. In addition, there is a 'soft spot' under the 'sticker' at the bottom of the front, near the connector, and includes the serial number. Does anyone know what is under these 'stickers'? Thanks again.

Any reason to keep it on the PCB? Does the bottom cover come off? Will I need to replace the rivets with something else to keep the bottom cover on? Thanks in advance.
