<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4479229, member: 18716"]They are usually meant to come apart for maintenance (you need to clean the lenses inside from time to time etc). Most are simple screw and drop in mounts for the glass so easy to do if you have any kind of diy skill. If there are lenses inside then the drawer should also unscrew to allow for maintenance. I don't think it is common for names to be hidden inside, but if it's easy to do so may as well check.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a Cary one I had recently, arrows are where is could be unscrewed:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]388679[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
