+**Info provided by Peter OZ1PIF/5Q2M to the Orion reflector, 14Jan17**
+To make the switch you need the following tools:
+A #10 Torx screwdriver for the 18 black screws on the rear, (don't use
+the small angled Torx tool delivered with the Orion, it'll drive you
+insane)
+A #1 Phillips screwdiver for the four large screws on the side
+A #0 Phillips screwdriver for the 14 (I think) screws holding the front
+to the main chassis
+You'll also need a suitable tool to extract the Snaphat battery, it sits
+rather tight and can't be pulled by fingers only.
+The trick is to power up the radio once you have taken it apart and
+positioned it for the battery switch, once the boot is completed you can
+safely pull the old battery and fit the new one, while at it, I switched
+the CR2015 battery in the tuner as well, mostly to avoid the risk of age
+related leakage at some point.
+Now you can turn off the radio again and reassemble everything.
