Woops -- I dove in, both feet at once. Messed up Mel's nice graphics, too. Sorry!  :(

I also added a good bit to the Repair Center Kit page. I didn't touch Mel's lower two panels.

We need to settle on what screwdrivers are acceptable (companies and part numbers; in Europe, Wiha (Deutschland) makes some that are quite good. Considering that Mel used a pocket Crescent, and that it fitted and worked well, I suspect that this might be less critical than I think; we need advice from the mechanical engineer who specified the screws. (To what standard are the recesses made? JIS? A Chinese standard? Surely, I hope not: no standard, just intelligent design?) What screwhrivers does Quanta use on their assembly lines? $5 (equiv.) bits in powered torque screwdrivers that cost $100s (equiv.)?

Perhaps I'm stressing this too much, but consider that, eventually, many 100,000s of screws will be removed and replaced. We must discourage makeshift screwdrivers.

Please do feel free to undo and modify.
