No offense intended, my friend, but it's easy to say "Save the old tops" when you're not the one unable to get the D**n old molding off...some of it is really glued on tightly, and I feel that any further attempts to remove them will seriously damage the old tops anyway...so why not just replace and be done with it...using new wood, I think I can get a more uniform color on the tops and molding...

Oh, I hadn't mentioned the color. They are finished in a color lighter than the Medium Walnut found on many vintage radios. Debbie recently had our dining table and chairs (Heywood-Wakefield) refinished in the original H-W factory champagne color. The color is very similar to the color of these Bozak tops. We have some stain and finish left over from that project, should be more than enough to take care of the tops and trim on these Bozaks. When finished, they should look very 1950s, which is the intent...
