Acrosonic puzzler

Hi all.

I ran across one this morning that truly had me losing a bit more 
hair..circa 1967, and I think that may be significant simply because of 
all the Acros I have seen over the years, this one was unique.

I could not figure out how to remove the music desk - fallboard/keycover 
apparatus.

This hunk of wood had 2 screws at either end of the music desk, located 
very close to the wire..closer than I have ever seen..and..the key cover 
sho nuff seems to be attached to this music desk. This is the kind that 
folds back nicely.

Upon removing the 2 screws I mentioned above, there was still no 'give' 
to this hunk of wood. Looking under the keybed, I saw 4 screws on either 
side of the bed. Upon removing the screws from one side of the bed, that 
side that should now be loose still was not.

There were no buttons on the cheek blocks hiding any screws..besides, 
isn't that method reserved for Grands??

I am baffled on how this hunk of wood is to be removed, so go 
ahead..make me feel dumb.
