Separating a glass tv pedestal from a glass tv cabinet

The tv came with a black pedestal which swivels approx 180 degrees. The pedestal sits on top of the cabinet. I have bought a new cabinet and now want to transfer the pedestal and tv to the new cabinet. I know how to remove the tv form the pedestal but the pedestal is stuck to the top of the cabinet and I can't figure out how to separate it. I can't see any screws or magnets holding it together. Has anyone any ideas? Thanks

I can only figure that the cabinet is Not part of the TV's normal design and it has been just sitting on this cabinet for a long while?
If this is so then it has by weight and heat sweated itself onto the top, synthetic feet are made of complex materials including oils which get exuded then form a quite powerful glue action, also that spray polish has baulking agents to make it look good in use these act as glue.

If this top is glass then its pretty well resistent to most things, try windolene glass spray its safe and dissolves many things on glass as a cleaner (or other surfaces). Move up to say WD40 a mineral oil again safe wipe clean with meths spirit to clean up just add in a bit of tilting to break that grip.

Hope this helps......

SOURCE: removal of tv stand

The stand is usually held in by 4 Philips scres on the rear of the TV.

The stand itself has 2 "Arms" that point upwards, about 4 inches, they go up into the base of the TV, screws then go in from the rear of the set, low down, to secure the legs in place.

The stand, swivel mechanism and "arms" all stay together.

Good Luck, I hope it helps.

SOURCE: The TV pedestal is stuck to the glass table where

you just will need to pull hard and keep your knee on the table at the same time. having another person would be the best. the bottom of the tv has several soft rubber type of feet to help it from sliding on smooth surfaces and that is what has become stuck over the years. good luck

HOW FAR CAN THE PEDESTAL STAND 'SWIVEL'? I CAN GET ABOUT 15 DEGREES EITHER WAY - IS THIS THE LIMIT OR CAN I ADJUST TO INCREASEDEGREE OF 'SWIVEL'?

I believe this is the limit, physically altering the engineered base for this television may put it in danger of falling or breaking. It's a 40 inch LED TV and really not that heavy, perhaps you could look for a lazy Suzann type of base that you could put beneath the TV to give you more extreme swivel capability.

Glass shelves stuck together when shipped. can't separate new glass shelves for installation in medicine cabinet. there wasn't any paper between the glass shelving when it was shipped. it is impossible to...

You could try soaking them in hot water and see if the warming of the glass will allow some water to seep between the shelves, thus separating them.

Please rate this answer for me. Thank you

Sony bravia pedestal stand is unstable

http://www.docs.sony.com/release/SUWL31_EN_ES_FR.pdf This link will show what it looks like when removing base to wall mount.They always recomend a mounting strap that connects to the rear of the TV and then screws into the table it will be sitting on.Not sure what they expect you to do if you have a glass top table. http://www.docs.sony.com/release/SUWL31_EN_ES_FR.pdf
This is a link to all the downloadable manuals and what not.Well hope this will help,and good luck.

Swivel top

It was difficult! But we did find the owners manual online free. You just have to sign up at this site and then you can download it. User manual SONY KV9PT40 - User guide SONY KV9PT40 - Operating instructions SONY KV9PT40 - - Diplodocs
The long and short of it - with the swivel attached to the cabinet still, pull down from the back of the tv and toward you. W had the base off the cabinet so I put the whole thing on the floor, put my feet on the back of the swivel, pulled the tv up and away from me. It took a bit but it finally broke free.
Good luck!
