Re: Cracking Open the MR Falcon to fix front LED. SEE POST #16 AND #17... IT'S THE B
I don't think that anyone read my post in Rebelscum. There are NO electronics in the base. There is only the AC adapter connector, ON/OFF switch and power wire. The PCB is in the Falcon. I do not recommend tearing open the base since there is nothing to fix in there!

Those 4 screws hold a circular plastic piece that the mounting post is epoxied into. It would probably effect the integrity of the post by drilling under it, since it is epoxied there. I do think in your case, going in through the mirror top is the best bet, especially since you have a good source for a replacement. The acrylic mirror that's on it now scratches easily, mine is all spider-webbed up just from dusting, so maybe your replacement will be even better after you're finished.
