BSR X-10 Ultrasonic Command Console

Remember these? I'll bet a number of you do. I have just found one from my early days as an X-10 independent rep in the mid 80s. It still works but is gummed up from our wonderfully polluted New York air and what appears to be tape adhesive residue. I'd like to disassemble the case and clean it thoroughly before pressing it into service again.

There is a hole on the underside of the case however it seems to be the underside of an internal post, in any case it is not a screw hole. I removed all four rubber feet thinking there might be screws under them and again, no luck. With the newer battery powered units I just remove the batteries and run them through the dishwasher as I do my mice and keyboards making certain they are completely dry before connecting again. This however plugs in to 110 power and I'm less inclined to try the same successful approach with it.

Any advice on taking this puppy apart?

Thanks.

There are a couple of other "old timers" there who have admitted owning these beasts.

Bruce Thanks for the reply. We were both right. I must have removed the screw 20 years ago when I was playing with some of these components as a consultant to BSR on proposed cosmetic changes to the cases. In addition to the screw there are four tabs that hold the upper shell to the lower. Once the screw is removed, pressing on the lower front and back base is also necessary to successfully disengage one from the other. With the tabs, the screw was obviously never needed - or missed - in all these interim years. You may never have need of this info but just in case, I share it here. Thanks again

Am anxious to find out how they can be serviced.

A couple of consoles will only work if I bang down the lid after each key press to release the indicator lite
