So, for the first time in my career in this sport, I have acquired a factory-wired Stereo 70. Lo and behold it has special SCREWS on the bottom-plate to discourage the people from breaking into the innards. The screws are recessed and have two little dimples instead of a slot or a Phillips or even a torx. Is the tool required a standard item or do I have to rig something up? Like a dinner fork or something?
Thanks,
Joe

It is probably a spanner-head security screw.
"...Sometimes also known as "snake eyes" and "notched." Though our diagram shows two holes in the top of the screw, these sometimes also look like a screw with two notches cut into the edge on opposing sides of the screw. A commonly used screwhead to avoid tampering, we've seen these used in everything from electronics to bathroom stall doors in public restrooms! Comes in 6 common sizes: #4, #6, #8, #10, #12 and #14."
