Thanks for the info about the fuse - I don't have another one with an original fuse to compare it with.

I can only imagine someone trying to lever the top half open if the upper case screws were originally hidden by bungs or something, but that would make little sense since you have to take the case apart at some point to replace the battery.

The display frame certainly has taken a beating at the sides, but luckily everything still works. I would not be looking to replace that since it will be out of sight if the casing can be repaired, hence my request (in wanteds) for a no-hope or blown-up but cosmetically OK 77 series II. I'd better now go and add that it's an early version I'm looking for as well.
