In about 1979 I was able to chip it off with a small knife and
screwdriver.<br>
If its still on yours after all these years are you sure it is
factory? Most I saw way back when were all<br>

Good luck,<br>

I tried a 1000 watt hair blower, but that only chipped some
off where the finish was cracked. Didn’t really soften it.</p>
