I was afraid of that. Of course I could just trim the lip on the stretcher that over hangs the plate. I was really hoping to avoid any case work on this one. Oh well.

I actually had a cabinet maker do it, and I think he had to re-veneer the tops of the sides after cutting in enough to remove the stretcher.

The block is not fitted to the stretcher and the stretcher does not seem to want to come out, at least not easily. But it will be in the way of the plate coming out. I've taken apart several Knabe's and not seen this arrangement, what gives? I guess I mean that literally and figuratively.
