Mine had screws in the top - 3 of them and then it comes off - I had to raise the keys and maneuver a bit until it came off What color did you find? I love the color of mine now that the gunk is off. I've worked on it enough to get the rest of the gunk off, move the zig zag but I haven't fooled with the tension other than to clean it a bit. I have a feeling it is going to be a never ending job cleaning up that machine - I keep finding more specks. I'm happy I got a good set of throat plates and accessories. Did I post a manual and a service manual on here?
