Apple II PSU

[Don R]

In a search on eBay for that Astec p/n seems the power supplies made in Hong Kong have the two rivets you shared in the image.

Those manufactured in Malaysia have screws all around.  

Seems to be an tampering deterrent and or warranty void indicator to me.  If they are aluminum pop rivets,  they should drill out easily.

All the other supplies I've messed with just had screws along the bottom. Trying to remove the bottom of the casing so I can work on the supply itself. Link to a pic of it.
