Rodney Hester Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I'm replacing the tops of two CX40s with NOS, but the tops don't come with the boot retaining rings. No worries - I've got two donor sticks that have them, so I'll just remove them, except...hold on...the retaining ring width is *wider* than the opening. How on earth do you get them out? (For that matter, how did Atari get them in there to begin with? It's like one of those strange physical puzzles you used to see in doctor's offices with linked rings :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 It might be easier to get them out from underneath, there are a few clips that you can bend to get it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Hester Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Unless I'm missing the obvious, underneath is solid plastic where the screwholes and standoff posts are, it appears to be fused to/part of the plastic top and can't be removed. There are indeed two clips on the retainer ring, but the ring being wider than the top opening, the clips appear to have little function other than to prevent the ring from rotating.
