First remove the foot..[ATTACH=full]93530[/ATTACH] Then turn the latch.. it barely moves but you feel the compartment release.[ATTACH=full]93531[/ATTACH] View of the compartment open[ATTACH=full]93533[/ATTACH] Here's a shot of the lid springs. There is one on each side. They help to not only pop the latch but keep it from relatching until you push it down. They aren't made of brass of course, so you can see the corrosion. They hit an inset brass strip on the bottom on the lid so they slide smoothly while closing.[ATTACH=full]93534[/ATTACH] Here is the latch for the secret compartment[ATTACH=full]93535[/ATTACH] As requested, a shot of the top compartment latch. The rectangular brass piece in the middle slides into a cutout in the wood when you turn the knob[ATTACH=full]93536[/ATTACH] Here's a shot of the bottom compartment latch. Same idea. You can see the cutout the latch slides into in the spring picture.[ATTACH=full]93537[/ATTACH] Finally, here's a shot of the main latch with the "key", if that's what it is, removed.[ATTACH=full]93538[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
