Hardly an expert... I jsut got to know the insides of the RX50 when 
getting my 'bow working again.

Yes. But that's easy to do. Just remove the mouting plate (4 screws) and 
the case will sldie off (it's held on by the same screws). Nothing 
springs out either.

Argh!!! Why didn't you teach your grandson something useful. There's a 
perfectlu good DC motor in there which can be run off batteries. And the 
stepper motor. And a couple of visible LEDs....

Kids these days are never taught to hack anything, which is presumably 
why so few of them ever do. Oh well...
