Hi,

Anyone out there with experience in opening up the music keyboard of a 
IIx ?
I tried to lift the top cover yesterday but just didn't dare to put 
more force behind it.
I followed the route from the service manual but the top would only 
move for about 50 mm or so.
I remember reading that it was hard to do but it must me possible...
Any tips or tricks here?

cheers,
David

Thanks Steve,
I found out that where the manual tells me to remove the six srews 
marked "A" there actualy are 7 screws to remove...tricky!
I just looked carefully and tought ...this must be it........

lots of dust and a great mechanism.
