Hello all,

I am talking about this time gauge,

 

http://www.minispare...ck to catalogue

 

It is not working and I want to open it so I can try and fix it. Tried to open it with no results.

It seems that it is glued and fixed as one body

Does anybody know how to open it?
I was thinking that the only solution is to cut it like this with a small saw (see the red line in the photo).

following this with interest - same plan.
I've been quoted £90..! for a repair..!
I could probably replace the innards if needed.
