[time-nuts] 7150+ filter problem

[gonzo moto]

I've just replaced a Solartron 7150+ with another the same.
The new unit is low hours ex-MOD. It was last calibrated in 2004 and probably hasn't seen the light of day since.

So (thinks I), I'll just have a play before I strip the filter for a rebuild.

15 minutes is all it took for the signature ffffffzzt pop of the filter letting go.

It has (to say the least), forced the issue.

Now I've removed all the solder around the earth pin, but I still can't get the cover off.
Does it just require brute force to pull it off or there something else holding it on?
