New to the hobby. Purchased an old Bennett 541 and starting tearing it down to restore. In attempting to access the lighting wiring for the ad glass and globe, I can't break free the plug nor the screws for the plates holding the lighting bases in place. Any assistance or lessons learned would be appreciated. I've attached photos to this post.
