I tried the methods referenced earlier, the soft cloth and tap method and the hot water soak method. For me, the hot water soak worked best. (I?m not passing judgement here just stating what worked best for me) I brought a pot of water to boil and then went into the garage. With water temperature at 200 degrees I inserted a cap with NO Emblem just to see what the hot water would do to the remaining silicone. After 3 minutes I removed the cap and detected minimal softening and little change in adhesion. Whatever that stuff is, its tough! I inserted another cap With Emblem into the bath (now approximately 190 degrees) I let it soak for 30 minutes. (temp at removal was about 160 degrees) Removed it from the water and pressed gently on the back all around the circumference and then in the center. The Emblem popped out only a tiny piece of foil clung to the cap I was able to use a razor blade and scrape the ?cling-on? free and the emblem looks perfect. Can?t say for sure if the hot water was a fluke or a success. But it seems as though the long soak was certainly an aid. Presently, I?m out of caps to practice on anyway. I?ll have to talk to ?Reverend Jim? before continuing any experiments. I also played a bit with the damaged ones and noted that rubbing a piece of tinfoil onto the peeled areas appears to have restored the Sunburst to some degree (Attached is my 3 minute attempt at ?re-foiling?) I?m also working on a Jig to put the caps in and spin them on a drill press. I hope that will aid in polishing and phonograph finishing. Thanks everyone for your input. I?m also looking for sources for new Emblems. I know Jim mentioned he had some not sure who else may be a source. Any info there will be appreciated. Also if anyone cares to experiment on there own I welcome any feedback!
