Philco 645K chassis removal - need help
#1

Three of us at our museum attempted to remove the chassis for a 1936 645K art deco console, only to be stymied and mystified.

There are two rear under-chassis hold down screws, which we removed.  After pulling all the knobs, we attempted to pull the chassis
to the rear of the cabinet.  It wouldn't budge.

After carefully eyeballing the cabinet from the front, and also from the inside, none of us could see any screws that appeared to be holding the chassis in place.  Yet, further tugging with more force had no effect.

I guess it is possible that the chassis is just seized to the wood and we need to coax it harder.  But, if someone has a better suggestion based on experience, we'd sure appreciate your guidance.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.
