What does the inside of a V1 look like?

[Kelvin]

Has anyone taken their V1 apart? I've had the Concealed display unit and the Remote Audio units apart, but I have never been able to get the Main V1 unit apart. I was being very careful not to force anything, because I know the physical dimensions of the antennas are critical and there are likely other very sensitive things inside. So I wasn't willing to apply the force necessary to open it up, considering it was working just fine.... But if someone has a broken one, maybe you could open it up and post some Pix of it showing how the case is held together, and what the antennas look like and the circuit boards for the display and any other interesting stuff. For example, I would like to know where the laser sensors are located on front and back, so I can make a concealed display which has openings for the laser sensors....

Yup, there have been a few people who have opened theirs up in the name of enthusiasts everywhere... and some people opened OTHERS up.

Here are some more pictures of old and new V1s.

OK NOW I understand why people rave about the V1's laser detection, that thing is HUGE!

Size *does* matter

Thanks for the replies and links! By the way, I meant to say I wanted to make a "concealment mount" for my V1 with openings for the laser sensors, not a "concealed display"

Thanks again-
