[NJARC] Opening a Simpson 269

[islandradiosvc at aol.com]

Never seen a battery hold one shut.. take the handle bolts out, and also sometimes, the cases get stuck. The seperation point on that  is up between the case shell, and the rear of the front panel. You can GENTLY tap the case wtih a soft implement to loosen it up. The batteries in that meter are at the bottom, so it is POSSIBLE leakage could stick the case shut...

Greetings Everyone!
 
I picked up a very nice Simpson 269 VOM  for $5 at the flea market yesterday. Seems to work perfectly for AC and DC volts, but I'd like to get inside and change out the battery to get full functionality out of it. I unscrewed the four screws on the back of it, but the back cover won't budge a millimeter. Am I missing something here? Is there a trick to it, or are my worst fears reality in that the battery let go and the resultant mess is what's holding it shut?
 
Thanks in advance!
