Subject: cover screw problem solved for second TMV71A


> Hi, all.
>
> In case anyone's interested, I had another friend over here this morning,
> and he got the troublesome cover screw out of the TMV71A without a hitch.
> He used Butch's left-handed drill bit suggestion, and the technique worked
> flawlessly.

> We have put a slotted brass jewelry screw in the place of the old screw,
> until I can get a replacement.
>
> Now, I'm going to write to Kenwood and ask if they'll send me a couple of
> replacement screws, should the problem happen again in the future.
>
> On another note, this newer TMV71A does indeed have menu 111, so it must
> have been upgraded with the new firmware.

> Thanks to all on the list for your help and sympathies as I tackled this
> very minor, but still un-nerving problem.
