Now you made me go and take off the cover! :-) I didn't dare to do so
at first, because of the limited space, but nothing got damaged and it
paid off. I found an extended warranty sticker that said 'Reading
Checkout XII.67', so your suggestion is correct! While the cover was
off I made some more pictures for the page.
