I had the same experience with a Wurlitzer I had...turned out the top
has to be slid straight back an inch or so to remove. There were two
clips on the front side of the top that were not visible with the top
in place.
Hope this helps.

Turns out that there are 2 screws under the topcap kind of buried in the light array. I had seen those screws but thought they had something to do with the light mounting. They don't. They are the other holders for the topcap. Once I saw that it made me go 'DUH!'
