Some people on my website suggested me to remove completly the top wood part of the
portable suitecase and to fix then a new aluminium plate fitted with several A-180 PCB. I
think that it will be the most elegant way to do it. So I've got a question for Dieter
DOEPFER before I unscrew one of my portable suitecase :

- How the top wood part is fixed
- They are 2 black screws on the top, do I have to remove them
- Is it involved in the structure of the suitcase
- What are the reasins for not fitting some multiples on the top of the suitcases

Thanks for your help,

Hédi K.
