I think this makes for an unecessarily complicated, 2-man procedure that
might ruin a couple of jeweler's screwdrivers. Someone (Bob Meyers?) posted
the best procedure IMHO, which involves (a) steal a _stout_ wire coathanger
from your closet (if you can bend easily by hand it's not "stout" enough)
(b) cut a couple of 7 or 8" lengths , and (c) bend each wire into a
rectangular "U"-shape with the legs spaced to match the pair of holes on
each side of the radio. Insert 2" to 3" of the wire "U"s on each side, and
press out (on the exposed section) while exerting an extracting force on
each side. The radio should slide out pretty easily.
