Is your 630 a console model (630X), chairside (630CSX) or radio-phono (630PF)? If it is a 630B tombstone, it did not have the bottom cover originally - at least, I've never seen one on a 620 or 630 tombstone. The bottom cover was put on the console models, I believe, more to keep curious fingers out than to electrically shield the unit. As an example of this, the 640X console has a bottom cover made of fiberboard instead of metal. Ditto the 665X and 116X consoles. Yet, the 640B and 116B do not have bottom covers, which would have been redundant anyway since you canit get any fingers under the chassis when it's in a tombstone cabinet.
