Can't remove grille on H-19 Edison
I just bought an oak H-19 Edison DD machine. I've tried to remove the grille, but there is not enough clearance on the grille frame to clear the lower bar. I guess after 100 years the wood could have swelled about 1/16" to make it almost impossible to remove the grille without breaking it or sanding off about 1/16" from the bottom bar. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I have removed stubborn grilles before by using Vaseline and forceful pulling, which came close to breaking the frame, but this one seems a little too big to try that.
