One question though, the cover does not seem to latch at the bottom on the 554. There is a brass piece on the inside of the cover at the top but not on the bottom. Is this piece made of unobtanium?

(Truth be known, probably the threads in the plastic are stripped or the hole itself is split.) When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative. Now that I'm old, I have settled on Curmudgeon.
