    Default Nishijin Sophia, how to remove plastic cover with "SOPHIA" written on it

    I have a Nishijin Sophia machine, maybe about 1973. Two of the screws holding this cover are attached from the front. Does the entire back mechanism have to be removed, is there no chance of simply removing this single piece?

    Trying to upload a picture but its failing?

    Photo has to be smaller than 2MB, and sometimes it takes a couple tries.

    screws sometimes.. staples most of the time.. if there are staples take a drill bit and drill threw the plastic in a few spots.. the plastic there the staples are.. drill threw the plastic and just into the wood a bit.. this will create a dimple as a witness mark. when you are reinstalling the plastics you will know exactly where to place it and the dimples will act like pilot hols for the screws..

    hope that makes sense

    and of course

    Whole lower back will need to be removed. Some have a couple screws on the back side. Also if memory serves, some of the clear back ones have the lower right ball dump shoot glued and will need to be gently and carefully cut with a good utility knife to get the clear portion released.
