Geoff,
The case is screwed and glued together and there are some dowels used.
As I looked the case over, it appeared that the previous owner had disassembled the case to paint it green. First thing I noticed was that the chassis mounting board wasn't in the case solidly. Apparently he never reglued that. Upon further inspection there appeared to be loose joints in several areas of the case. Here are a couple of pics that show the hammer marks on the underside of those top rounded pieces. If you look you can also see the glue blocks for the chassis board. He glued the case back together, but didn't do a real fine job (which actually helped me out).

So my assesment of the case is: if you want to disassemble it you will have to be very careful nothing gets broken. I used small screwdrivers and chisels to wedge in between the pieces of wood to break the glue bond again. Fortunately nothing broke.

Looking at the consoles I currently have, it doesn't appear that disassembling the cases is a good option. I fear most of them would wind up as scrap wood.
