If you are lucky you have a "splittable" 80c & you can completely
dismantle it (take photo's). I have come across both types. It is also
worth removing all the the blond ash woodwork, this makes it easier to
maneuver the frame & you can have it re-polished while you have the desk
dismantled. It comes up a treat!
