You will have to be a little more specific with the radios, as there were
minor differences (minor enough to be too much!) between the screws on
the different models.
I have a junker RAK-7 (yes, available! Haul it away from Carmel, NY),
but I think the screws are really hard to get off without a Sawzall.
