Well, I've poked around, and the thing seems to be undismantleable.  It
seems to be a set of layers of rubbery stuff with tracks on and a bottom
metal plate all held together by sort of melted plastic blobs (or meted
pastic bobs as it would come out on the Mac).

Perhaps, with a bit of ingenuity, I can get away without the missing
character; but without the stop I am going to have to write rather wordy
sentences - I can be verbose, but not pro ix!
