Sorry if this is common knowledge, but I was just able to remove the transporter mechanism from the EMCE reproduction Star Trek playset without hurting it.
The plastic rivets EMCE used to hold the playset together can be taken apart and then later re-assembled! If you carefully pry them out, they unsnap. I took the two rivets off the side holding the transporter and two off the top of the transporter. It turned out you may not need to take the ones off the top, but it made it easy to remove the mechanism.
Later you can put everything back and snap the rivets together again.
This opens up a lot of custom Transporters / Phone Booths / Transformation Chambers without having to find a new mechanism for each.
