TB+ construction question

I started a new thread, but probably should've posted this here. A friend sent me his old 1991 TB+ and the bottoms are flat. Where's the magnet in these?

I bet its ceramic like the newer designs, this must be one of the first TB+ designs. Can you remove the metal cover?

I'll see if I can remove them when I get home. Curious what's in there.

The bottom doesn't come off and I don't want to force it and break it. And I can't see anything through the other hole that's not either of the mounting holes.

Is this back cover magnetic? Or its something like brass?

That back cover is probably mounted there straight after the potting was poured into the cover. That's why it has stuck to the back.

It's not magnetic. Not sure what metal it is.

It's special tone metal.

Heavy metal?
