Dunno 'bout the Carousel 440. But, on a lot of equipment there is
"One More Screw" located under the mylar (or thin alum.) label on
the bottom. Easy to locate (in the mylar case) by dragging your
finger nail backwards across it. Before Torx and that ilk, it was
used to indicate that the customer had opened it up -- thus, voiding
the warranty.
