Default Bush TR130

Can someone please tell me how to open the cabinet on a Bush TR130. In the manual it says "Place the receiver with the speaker grille downwards, separate the two halves of the cabinet shell and lift off the top half". It doesn't say how to separate the two halves without causing damage!
Thanks.

With the radio on its front as described and the base plate removed, first press inward on both sides of the back of the set near the bottom - looking inside you'll notice two teeth on each side which interlock with the case front. Press sufficiently to free them, then lift the bottom of the back so that the teeth are completely free of the front half of the case. In that position, pull the back of the case away from the top panel of the radio - just a little movement is enough to free it completely.

A quick photo of the relevant area - first squeeze the lower part of the back, then it can be lifted to about this angle before pulling it away from the top of the radio.
