Would appreciate your input.....
It may have the pins broken on it. The top and the faceplate were know the be the weak point for those machines. The parts are out there but you have to look hard and be prepared to to spend the money for them.

I have a 500A for sale that came out of my collection that is real nice and complete, even has some accessories and the cams are real easy to find.

Billy,
It looks like the pins are OK, but the top does not "pop" in place where it looks like it should go. I may be doing something wrong.
Thanks for your input.

The "attach points" of the cover have metal "prongs" that I thought fit into the slots on the back in order to fit the cover on. Are there also separate pins?
