I have these more modern 400 series Hengstler counters and I was planning to modify the one with the reset button / 6 digit for my blaster project.

 

I can easily remove the black shroud that has the pins sticking out but I can't seem to find a way to remove the greenish color cover from the front, nor slide the lens out. Before getting all strong arm on this I figured I'd write the experts here on some advice.

 

Anyone else have one of these that they opened up without shattering?

 

(Note: I realize this is not the famed Eagle logo version but it's still better than a hunk of resin in my opinion. I may purchase a resin version just to graph that logo to the shroud down the road if I'm feeling disgustingly accurate)

I think you have more modern versions of the counter.

 

I don't know if this will help at all or what the differences are, but here's a link that shows vintage counter disassembly/reassembly:

Yes, mine is a big H logo version. I was looking at this tread this morning. Mine has no screws on the outside of the counter area, so there must be a squeeze technique I haven't discovered. Thanks all the same.

 

Anyone else?

No idea, but would it just snap on as it slides on, so therefore would need to be levered up and off?

remove the front black case by sliding it off.

on the rear grey case there will be a notch along one thin edge.

insert a flathead screwdriver and lift at the notch.

 

the rear case has a notch lip type of pressure fitting.

That was the ticket. Two small tabs on either of the short sides popped it off. Thanks a bunch! I'll be assembling my E11 building thread here soon. I still want to get a smig further along and I'll post up where I'm at.

Tell me more! I'd be interested in the proper eagle logo.
