Thanks KEN; I removed the Battery Screw then put the two screws for the Bottom have where it was sticking PART way then tapped. Iit move bout a 1/4 inch. Then I found a longer screw bout the same Dimension and put it in part way then Tapped and VOILA the case separated nicely THANKS Now all I have to do is carefully remove the screws holdin the Tube and boards to the front and transfer to the good one. Is it possible to add a hard drive to the PLUS. I have a 170 Meg apple SCSI Drive plus others Grateful Bob in Wisconsin -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
