Default Fidelity Playtime tape recorder

can anyone help ?
I have a fidelity playtime reel to reel tape recorder, and I would like to gain access to replace belts ect but the unit appears to have metal clips holding the top and bottom of the machine together 2 on each side, but I cant figure out how you release them without damaging the case as its only plastic any advice

Hi
You literally have to lever these clips away from the cabinet, carefully, using a flat headed screwdriver and placing a piece of cardboard or a towel between the clip and the casing to avoid marking the case! They are a complete pain, unfortunately. It's no wonder that on the Mk 2 Playtime, Fidelity changed the method of access to screw fittings.

Regards
David
