Can anyone offer advice on how to remove the top of a Pen EE? I took out the two screws under the rewind crank (and the screw in the middle of the crank) and the screw on the counter end near the strap lug. But the top seems to be still attached at the counter end and I don't want to prise too much. Have I missed a screw or something?

Andrew, There is a screw (of sorts) in the middle of the counter. You will see two small holes there for the purpose of inserting a spanner wrench.

Did you also remove the rewind crank itself? To do so, insert a screwdriver blade into the slot of the rewind crank (inside the film cartrige bay) then gently turn the crank counter-clockwise until you feel it give.

If you get both of those the top should come right off.
