Thanks Ron,

I got bored yesterday evening, removed all the old staples, unsoldered the ground wire and carefully slid the paper cover off the frame. I'm happy to report the paper came off without incident! I noticed the wires in the cover and thank you for answering the question generated with that discovery. I did find on the paper cover a place where some component appears to have been connected at one time, any idea what that may be?

Thanks
Chris
