My dad gave me his old kd 550 and I love it. It still works great but is desperate need of cleaning. I’ve tried removing the hinged acrylic cover to clean and polish but I cannot get it to come off. I’m sure 35+ years of crud and whatnot have got it stuck. Does anyone have any tricks or anything that might help? I’ve read the manual and saw the way you slide it in to install it but doing the opposite isn’t working. It’s the original smoky looking translucent lid so I’m terrified of breaking it.

Truly justified to be terrified of breaking it, but usually the turntable does that for you, cracking and such.
I would think that you could try to pry up the hinge straight up off the table on each side a bit at a time to see if it will move. Lifting straight up when it comes loose. Without getting up to go look at mine, I would think there is a way to lever up those supports that fit into the turntable.
