My Philips 423 record player (the 'briefcase' battery player with the drop down deck) works well except the release button on the top. The catch is pulled IN by a spring - but that should be the job of the button on the top. So the button is loose and the deck always falls down.

I can't find how to pull off the black plastic top. Anyone know?

Attached photo - Button / latch marked B

Line round the top black bit I can't get off

Clever design for the battery connections, eh?

Thanks all,

Ralph
