Hi all, just had a bit of a disaster with my beloved Atari 400, hope you can help.
I pressed the button to pop up the flap to insert a new cartridge, and the flap came completely off! It looks like the left hand side lug had snapped off (perhaps because of an earlier fix by a previous owner). I glued the lug back on - but of course, now I can't get the cover back onto the machine. It's simply too wide to slot back into the holes.
Has this happened to anyone else? If I take it apart, will I find this job easier? is there a 'magic trick' that's currently eluding me?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Tony.
