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! -- Robert Wilson
