Here's a pic of the set before disassembly, and a pic of the picture tube after I finished the cataract removal (it worked!) and I am now curing the silicone bead around it and taping it. The heat gun method starts out with you thinking yeah sure, this isn't doing anything, it isn't going to work. You have to soften up one spot, then take a thin piece of lexan or other plastic and sort of dig out a couple of areas along the edge, so you have a place to start wedging the sticks. I used piece of bakelite as they are thicker and stiffer. Then you can see a wiggly ridge line in the goop that will slowly traverse across to the other side of the tube from where you are leveraging with the sticks. Takes awhile. Then it just sort of lets go and comes loose with more prying as the ridge line goes about 2/3 of way up. Will add a pic of the working set as soon as I get the parts back in the house for assembly...Frenchy
