Removing Glass from Vendo 110 Bottle Door

[SIGNGUY]

Ok, I know it sounds easy, but if you've ever worked on a Vendo 110 it's a different set up. This is the first 110 I've restored and I've got all the screws out but can't get the bottle glass that is framed in wood to come out? any tips or tricks.
I'll try to post some photos tonight, but figure any of you who have done 110's know the trick?

Thanks
John

It has got little tiny nails holding it together and also some caulking in the grooves as I recall.

Break out the pry bar!  When in doubt, pry it out!

Ok just needed more muscle. No tricks just the old gasket holding it in

John could you post a few pictures , I've got one I'm going to be doing next  when I start feeling better.

Be gentle! sometimes the old wood use in the framing can be dry-rotted on the outer layer & it will try to split on you...(be there, done-that!)

I think it's just the caulking holding it in at the point you are at. It's been a while since I've did one.

yep, just the old gasket which was actually caulk holding the glass to the inside of the metal frame.. little more pressure and it released.  just wasn't sure and didn't want to force it.  got it now.. easy

This Idea might be of value depending on what condition your wood is in, I've had some old stained glass windows repaired (they had some water-damage & dry-rot along the sill side) & the window shop used a wood restorer product that looked like a watery epoxy to me, but it bonded with the wood to turn the cellulose fibers into a hardened resin that could be drilled & tapped for some new hinges.   Just a thought. (just in case)

         Johnie....that is a great idea. Thanks.
