Hapo 66e - Top Removal

As you most probably know the Hapo 66e is a rebadged Balda.

Have any of you ever taken the top off - before I rush in where angels fear to tread I thought I would ask first.

It seems simple enough but always better to ask first.

Regards
Peter

The guy to ask, if you want to know for sure, is Chippy, but I've taken apart several Balda folders and they are pretty much all just as straightforward as they look -- with the sole exception (so far) of the Super Baldina.

...here is a detailed HTD description - unfortunately only in german...
Still the pictures will give you a good impression of what to expect underneath...
And as said above, the Hapo is a straight forward construction. So go for it. Good luck!
