Open up a Marx Yard Tower?
Posted by kpolak on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 5:45 AM

OK, I just bought a Marx Yard tower...and I want to get inside to check the light and repair the red plastic window scrim.  Probably should re-wire while I'm in there too.

How do you open one of these things up???  Do I need to bend out the tabs and take the whole building off?

Thanks,

Kurt

     The roof slides off.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Got it!  Thanks.  Not an easy task.  The roof tabs were a bit bent up holding it in place.

Good thing I check and clean everything used I buy.  This has a chunk of wood next to the light bulb...probably holding the acetate in place???
