I got quite good and peeling off those 'Removing

never bothereed to put them back, just stuck them on a sheet of silicone
paper (backing from Letraset ru-down letters) in case I ever did want to
return the unit. Never did of course, it was less hassle to fix it myself.
I wanted to try the "buffered" expansion interface retrofit.
So, I resealed the machines, (which had lower-case, a few additional keys,
software controlled reverse video, and "RCA" jacks for composite
almost-NTSC). Because it was "sealed", the RS tech was quite willing to
do the warranty work, even with the "boat in a bottle" additional
circuitry, on the condition that I supply him with full documentation of
what mods I had done.
