I have taken one of these apart and figured out what was holding the
top plate on. The two spindle reel holders need to be removed in
order to get the plate off. Under the top cover, the spindles are
held on by 2 thin wire clips like bend paper clips. Pull these off
and they will release the spindle reel holders. Unfortunately you
have limited space and need top take the bottom cover off to get to
these. I least thats how I did it.
Let me know.....
