Any tips on removing a stuck bedplate on a Columbia AT? Upper bedplate has been removed, but I can't get the bedplate to budge.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'm guessing the medal deck seems stuck to the cabinet. Correct? And to pry it out would damage the cabinet. Correct? If so I would try using a putty knife to protect the cabinet while using something thin to slip between the deck and putty knife to gently pry the two apart.

Correct and correct.

I will give that a try. Thanks.
