vtsteam:
Avoiding the problem of the stuck screw temporarily, I got some toothpaste (old fashioned Crest Regular -- the type with abrasive in it, not "gel) and started polishing the plastic bezel.

(I also did add a couple toothpicks worth of kerosene to the stuck screw, hoping it will penetrate.)

vtsteam:
I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, Andrew.

RussellT:
Warm the screw up with a soldering iron?

Russell

vtsteam:
Russell!! We think alike. Exactly what I did, except I used a solder sucker, which puts out more heat than my pencil iron. I also tapped the screwdriver lightly with a tack hammer twice. And the screw finally released.  :ddb:

Sproing.......

vtsteam:
The pieces and parts. I washed everything in warm water and dish soap, using an old toothbrush as a scrubber.
