In Reply to: RE: How to remove solid wood trim from a cabinet ? posted by Mr. Dick Hertz on December 11, 2016 at 17:29:04
Thanks, I will give the putty knife a try.
I will also try the heat gun. The cabinets are an Altec Magnificents, and the trim is more than a bit thick, so I don't know if the heat will penetrate well.
Prior to getting grief, the Magnificent cabs are in fairly tattered shape. If I didn't rework and re-purpose them, then they probably would have been headed for the bin. My intent is to rebuild them into 'Magnificent' 620s for my 604 coaxials. Wonderful old walnut ply. The wood grill is a bit busted up, but I might be able to patch and reuse that as well.
I have some of the bass horn bits available if anyone is interested.....They pretty much came out in nice pieces that could be rebuilt easily. Could be quite fun to play with if you had a 15" bass.

Do you have a picture?
Worst case is the trim will take the walnut veneer off with it. Which is most likely to happen.
If possible can you just cut off that much of the cabinet and redo the baffle plate?
Hi,
Here are a couple of pics. I ended up usins an edged putty knife, and it worked really well. Actually used 2 - one to keep the 'crack' open as I moved along the trim strip. Also removed the top front strip as well. Still have 2 tricky ones left (front uprights) depending on what I decide on the final layout.
