Hi ElectronicSkip.

Many thanks for the assistance.

If it's not a silly question - How do you remove the black plastic "surround" to get to the contacts? There are a pair of screws which can be removed but the plastic doesn't seem to want to come away. It looks like it should just pull-off but I don't want to apply too much pressure and break something. Am I just being too wussy or is there some secret to getting the black cartridge "surround" off?

Thanks again ElectronicSkip and Tony.

Kind regards,

From Mike.
