Once LarryC39 posted the perfect "purloined" pic of an extracted Ruleta finial, where I didn't see any evidence of an EdT. retaining pin device, then I was more willing to use some extra force and lots of wishing. I am overly cautious no doubt, but I make the time to try to avoid screwing up something I just don't understand. Again, thanks all! PS: The top and finial are currently being "de-painted" and I already know, that at least on this finial, some of the threads are sharp - so be careful out there.
If I can ever finish the restoration, it's going to look more like it used to than it ever did.

Congrats on the almost successful removal. My only lament is that you obviously sheared an irreplaceable Ruleta retaining pin. :glare:

With all the new blood on that retaining pin, I expect it will grow back together - assuming the pin and I are the same blood type - or not.
