A friend gave me a 108MP to repair. The hot shoe screws need to be replaced.
How do I get the top off? I have removed all visible screws, but something is still holding at the shutter button end.
Has anyone done this before?

Just in case anyone else needs to work on one of these "plastic fantastics"...
There is a screw at the very top of the battery chamber near the shutter button.
The last screw is under the Program portion of the shutter speed dial. It is glued in place and is easily pryed off.
