Oh, btw, I will be needing a replacement switch control box if I can't find some way to anchor those individual switches to the unit. Tabs are broke off and that's why the fan selector level was wobbly. I'll be trying to restore this one while looking for a matching replacement.
Anybody got one? Oh yeah, how do the knobs come off. Don't want to break them!! I'm learning to ask MORE questions before tugging. LOL

 With all the research I've done, I've decided that one of the previous owners or mechanics just cut the lid over the heater core instead of removing a couple screws to allow the whole box to drop enough to properly get the lid off. From what I've seen there are a total of 5 screws that hold that lid on. So, the duct tape I found was just to seal that crack where they cut the lid. I'll remove that piece and take a peek at the heater core, hopefully tomorrow. Was out of town until late tonight, so I didn't have a chance to look closer yet.

Right...it's just a friction fit.
Sad that they hacked it up, but another lid should be pretty easy to find.

Pic 2...a pretty clean cut after all. Sure would make it easy to swap out. Mike, what was that butyl seal you were talking about? How sealed up should this lid be? If you notice, the top edge of the front wall of the box below the heater core lid has been cut, too. I don't think this will allow the lid to completely seal.

If this is a keeper, your best move would be to replace the whole deal. That way you won't have any future issues with the heater core and A/C. It's a PITA but once it's done right - it's DONE. Good luck.
