Batboard

So I was staring down in the empty AS1 case here earlier and noticed small holes with white showing through in the same pattern as the keypad would be on a model 3 case. Then I noticed the shiny portion to the top that looked like it could be a clear plastic window. So I start staring at the outside and realized that the speaker grille and /\/\ logo were part of an applique of sorts. So I got out a jeweler's screwdriver and started poking around. There was definitely a gap I could get the screwdriver in to. I pried up a little bit and got my pocket knife out and slid the blade under and worked it around a bit. The whole piece came loose eventually and revealed a nice clear window and some felt material which was glued down.

I did this because my display showed up and my new refurb AS3 case is still a week away. I figured hell, i'm running an AS3 flash I might as well look at the display





Update: Thanks Grem I like the 1.5 nonclementure hah

Yeah, I saw that too.... didn't bother tearing up the housing. I'm simply hoping to find a model III -or- even model II housing at Dayton.

lol...I wish every "AS 1" that /\/\ made are like that

They are.. you just have to supply the LCD module and the appropriately model # radio.

Jeez, wish you could have waited. I would have bought that Astro 1 case from you for my R that I got the other day.


If you want a litte of nothing for it I'll still take it if you want to get rid of it.

Yeah maybe I will dremel out the front panel and relocate the M logo to below the grille and glue it back together. I figure hell, it's only a model 1 case...who actually wants these lol.

I will keep you in mind mancow, if I upgrade my other one to a model 3 I won't booger the case up
