On metal cased (7030 and later 7012s)
Metal cased? I wonder why they switched. I find the fibrous plastic of
the RS6K's and PS/2's to be very nice..... one of the few times I can
think of, that I've been impressed with plastic!
Older RS6ks are the same setup it appears, but you
need to contrive a small hook (again, I commend old dental picks to your attention) that
will hook under the rim about 1/2" below the surface of the button. Use two for a
balanced pull. Have fun, and long live the classic 6K!
I don't have any dental picks handy, but I do have a large paper clip
and pliers. I've successfully pulled one off, and removed the switch
from the panel. Thank You!!
P.S. - does anyone here have an idea why I.B.M. used
Medeco locks on the system unit, when plenty of mischief can be made anyway? Fortunately,
both mine came with keys.
Neither of these 7012's have keys. I've never been on the inside of a
lock, but I think it has little pins inside that I can remove. I'd like
to pull the pins so I can use the key to my 7013-5xx. Granted it'll
cease being a lock, but at least it will look factory finished and won't
get bumped to a different position.
