Thank you for replying Longitude but the screw in the centre of the backplate on a 201 Mk3 is just for the earth connection to the chassis. I loosened it as recommended in the earlier 201 service manual but then realised it did not help in the dismantling of the unit.

In the end I found out how to do it from another post in this forum from JCD. Quote:

"Not sure re Mk3, think mine is a MkII. General procedure for all single unit 200 series that I own is:

1- Remove underside two screws that secure front display section
2- slide out display section
3- remove top section screws from rear of unit that holds top section
4- slide off two clips at front that hold top section and lower section together
5- lift off top section.

You should be inside the 201 now.

Hope this helps.

John"

A Service Manual for the 201 Mk3 would be very useful as the unit has to be dismantled in order to change the phono from MM/MC.
