[NJARC] Opening a Simpson 269

Mon Nov 6 22:54:45 EST 2017

Hi Joe, I found a Simpson 260 series 7 this weekend for $3, gotta love 
estate sales. The D battery had leaked but the negative terminal can be 
repaired, thankfully the battery compartment was unaffected. Lots of 
info at http://www.simpson260.com/

"Use a 1/4-inch screwdriver to remove the four screws through the bottom 
of the case. Then remove the front panel assembly from the case. This 
assembly includes..."    The manual is available at:

> 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...?

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?
