Hi everybody,
as there is a holiday today in Germany I wanted to take a look at my Angelus SF240 inside of a Liliputaner case. Is there a trick how to remove the screw holding down the crown to set the alarm? I could remove all screws except this one. It seems to be really tight. Hope somebody can help me.

Use the largest screwdriver that will fit the hole but sharpen it well before use.
with a screwdriver that covers the entire screw slot you will exert more force, and with the sharp screwdriver you will be ensuring that it enters the screw slot.
I once had the same problem and it was solved with a sharp screwdriver.

Hold the knob and apply pressure to the screwdriver and the screw will let go.
