Silvertone syntronic changer help needed

[DavGoodlin]

The 1960 model 2264 suitcase stereo was just recapped and it sounds OK for just a 12AX7 & 2 50C5 tubes. It definetly needs mechanical work under the pan, but I can't get the changer loose.

The changer is NOT a V-M or any other I am familiar with and do not have the Sams photofact, that often has disassembly info.
I cant figure out the funky hold-down clips and they move sideways and pull up a bit but dont seem to release or lock down the pan.
I can remove the amp cover and feel around, do I have to get underneath it?

I emailed V-M but they are not familiar with this one. Its so close to fully automatic operation, just a little sluggish.
