Crack open this WE decorator phone

[markosjal]

I was tryiing to crack open this WE decorator phone with no luck. Loosened screws on bottom but did not want to break anything.

Who knows how to disassemble it?

Thanks

The screws on the bottom,of the set should be enough. But look under the number card where the hand set rests, there is probably a screw under that as well.

I had checked under the number card and no screws there.

Seems a mystery how to crack this one open. I certainly do not want to break it.

Then the screws on the bottom open it, make sure you remove the screws all the way.
Because I've had those be stubborn and act like they don't want to budge.
If i remember right there were four, maybe five then it should open up. I don't have any BSP's that show how to open, but the bottom does come off the upper housing.

The housing mounting screws are identified in BSP 503-200-100.

I knew you would have it, thanks Paul.

Apparently I missed the two on the sides. They are in Much smaller holes.

Thanks Paul

You're welcome.

It always helps to remove the right screws. I can't count the times I removed screws on the bottom of phones only to hear the ringer bounce around inside.
