[HCDX] Sony ICF-SW1E Take-apart

[swl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have a SW1E (same as ICF-SW1S) that
someone gave me - original case, box, extras
and box that is not working right -
After doing a bit of net research I have determined
that C608 - 33mf/4V capacitor is in need of
replacement. Static and motorboating noises
come out of the speaker, yet the Headphone
jack works great with perfect audio.

I am a tech so doing the CAP replacement is
a non-issue.
My question is:
What is the secret to the ICF-SW1S take apart?

I have removed 3 screws (2 long, one short)
and there appears to be a myriad of interlocking
tabs that hold this unit together.

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
