Anyone has experience removing a twistlock cap from its cardboard shell? This one is a Philco 3-section cap in a silver paper shell which I'd like to preserve. But the aluminum case is glued inside. I tried a ftting size wooden peg to knock it out, it dented the top of the alum shell but the cap inside the cardboard tube won't budge.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
