Any suggestions for how to remove the rear lower back panel on Zaxxon? They look like cam lock screws but I can't seem to get them out. I need to remove the back panel.

Get ready for the obligatory "You should remove the whole game to the dumpster" comments. As far as any actually useful advice, I have never owned a Zaxxon so I apologize I do not know.
 
Can you use a slotted screwdriver on them? Are they stripped?
No slotted screwdriver doesn't work I believe these are cam locks. I turned them until they loosened up but can't get them out. I tried a magnet.
 
i've never noticed those on a convert-a-cab or a congo bongo... but did you try removing the pcb sled/board from the front and checking from the inside?
 
Is there a reason you want to get down in there? There's nothing there, it's just an empty cavity if memory serves correctly.

On a proper Zaxxon cab, the front folds out to access the guts, and the upper back door gives you access to the monitor.

Yes I have a specific reason. Need to get that panel off. Has nothing to do with the monitor or PCB. Was hoping someone who has done a Zaxxon restoration would know.
