Any experience with a specific "variety" of Technics SA-400 receiver with a cabinet that's a mother to remove?

The service manual for the model, which I got at the Hifi Engine, shows the normal set of two screws each side... yet mine has NO such screws in sight! Just a nice, plain surface... And assuming that that's the way to do it, I don't seem to be able to unmount neither of the front and back panels; once their knobs and screws are removed, they both offer a tight resistance at the top. So this is where I decided I'd leave it alone, and ask you...

I have never seen anything like that before...

That's it! The top piece slides open like a drawer in its channels!

...one top left and one top right that look like they might have something to do with mounting the case to the chassis. Just a thought.

Those photos of yours give it right away; we can see the little channels! ...Which I should have seen "live"...

Many thanks Mr. Cantor!
