My Mershon disassembley method - Ukhorse - 03-28-2017

Would like to share this method I tried with success.
First part I read on another thread to remove the cap worked great.
To remove the caps, I froze the can for a few days.
Then I immersed the top cap in boiling water.  Used a pair of rubber gloves wrapped around the cap with a set of channel locks for a grip.
GENTLY twist them off. They came off very easy.

Next, I thought of a neat way to get at the insides.

Invert the can on a stationary belt sander and sand lightly.
Took less than 2 minutes.

No digging, drilling, cutting etc.

You can even solder the piece you removed back in there some how if you really want to be cool.

Glad to be of some help.
There are people on here that seem to know everything about these antique radios.
Hope my little 2 cents helps.
