Default Triplett 1200-C multimeter help.

I know its a silly question, but how do you get the back off?
It's a Triplett 1200-C, it last had its batteries changed in 1969, not that I think you can get a B110 22.5v any more.
It's in really nice condition, so I didn't want to scratch it up getting it apart.
Thanks.

Keith,

We don't see many Triplett meters in the UK so some pictures and other information might be of interest for comparison with more familiar meter types.

The problem was I didn't know how to pull it apart, but I worked it out.
This one has two B110 22.5v batteries wired in and are still working, so I just replaced the 1.5v battery.
It is not totally the same as others I have seen, I have not seen one in this colour before, not that I know much about them anyway.
