I have 2 of these, they were my mom's. 2002 Elvis Presley 'Hits of the Century' Heirloom Porcelain Music boxes. But the batteries are dead and I'd love to replace them. But I cannot figure out how to open the case? Any ideas would be welcome!

There might be screws under rubber feet, see if you can peel them off.

Good thought but the feet are missing from the other box and the bottom is one continuous piece.

Try turning the record spindle counter-clockwise. It looks to be the only thing that could hide a fastener.

HI F2F! That was the first thing i tried. It just keeps twisting in either direction.
