I recently got a Galaxie (sliding ribbon cover; I believe that's called the 6 series?) for basically $5. Two problems -- first, the bell does not ring. I can't see enough of the mechanism, even with the bottom panel removed, to figure out what's wrong, so I think I need to remove the bottom rear cover and perhaps also the back panel of the carriage.

Second, the ribbon selection switch (a slider lever on the right side of the keyboard) is disconnected from the linkage that changes the ribbon setting. From peering inside with the ribbon cover slid open, it appears as though the end of the linkage is supposed to fit into a slot in a metal piece that's connected to the switch, on the inside of the shell. (I can't imagine how these got disconnected in the first place, and the end of the linkage may be hard to bend in order to make it fit.)

It seems to me that I need to remove the plastic molding surrounding the keyboard in order to get at this and try to reconnect the linkage. I removed the screws at either lower corner of the molding, near the shift keys, but the molding does not budge. Are there additional screws I need to remove? Do I need to somehow pry off the ribbon selection switch (and the touch control switch on the left side of the keyboard)? I'm hoping I don't have to remove these switches, since I think they would break very easily if I tried to insert something between them and the molding to try and work them off.

Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.
