Rockola 1455

by ds100h » Sat Aug 13, 2016 11:28 pm

Hi

I am attempting to remove the the grill, kick plate and both sides of lower trim. I have removed the screws on the inside of both trim plates and can not see anything else holding these to the cabinet. I have attached 3 pictures of what this area looks like. Is there anyone that can explain what I am missing? I can not get the two side trim pieces off to remove the grill and grill cloth. I know my eyesight is bad, but I think something else is going on here.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer?

Best
Darrell

Hi Darrell,
As I have stated many times here and elsewhere, "I don't do cosmetics"--However I do also have an answer for this that I often use--I just don't do anything and point out the "wonderful patina" ! Ron Rich :wink: :lol:

Hi Ron

Patina certainly has its place. If possible, I would like to clean the grill pieces up so the colored lights reflect better, which of course "patina'" tends to block :( Have a great weekend :D

Problem resolved, the inside pieces finally came off, one still was held my glue. Under this was a hidden screw that held the outside trim piece in place. :D :D :D
