help opening aburaihan amp

[elmatador]

hey guys,

I have an amp opener ordered on the way but I needed to open a Aburaihan amp without an amp opener today. Any special techniques to do this? I am used to vials so not sure how to go about doing this.

It does not have a thick white line around the neck or anything. Its just a fine line around the neck.

bic pen cap with the leg trimmed off.

just take a nail file and file around the line a bit. dont press to hard when filing. once its scored all the way around just snap it off.

just use your thumb, hold amp in hand and push top with thumb.. works fine for me.

hold with dish towel, pop top off with pen cap.

if there's a dot i think you break it toward the dot.

They have a black dot on the top of the amp. You push or pull in line with the dot ( I cant remember which)

and hope it doesn't smash open in your thumb leaving with glass in it :) Add the face cloth to it as well.

just snap off the top the way of the dot. They break easily.
