Sangean ats-606A how do I get it apart?
 

Bought a used Sangean ATS-606A. There's something loose
inside rattling around. But I can't get the case open.
Removed the screw. Can pry the bottom apart, but the
top won't budge. I'm afraid to pull any harder.
Is there a secret to getting it apart?
Thanks, mike

There is a manual in the yahoo Sangean group.
I think C Crane co said you use a small plastic Spatula to push in the
plastic tabs;
- I tried it, then chickened out & sent it to them to fix..
Too fragile; designed NOT to be opened by most, IMHO.

- So they put in a new antenna; works fine

apart. i am sending it to your e-mail, so look before you dump all your
junk mail!

Thanks for the inputs.
Doesn't look promising.
I tried to join the Sangean group to find the manual,
but they won't let me. Seems that somebody's gotta approve.
Interesting that there ain't no information to approve.
If I wanted the information next week, I'd have asked next week ;-)
Sigh!!!

Thanks, it helped. Managed to get it apart breaking only one tab.
Had a short (1/4") piece of #16 solid wire between the speaker and case
causing all the distortion. Wonder how the heck that got in there??
If this thing had a BFO, it would be a nice radio ;-)
I like the ICF-SW100 much better.
