Having given up banging the mouth piece on telephone books, heating in hot water, freezing in the icebox, striking with a wood mallet, etc. etc.,the rim in question refused to come loose and I stopped tormenting it for fear of damage. It was, after all, a $200 Lawson. I was playing on it the other day with the shank firmly seated in my Alex 103 and just for kicks I grabbed the shank hard while it was seated in the horn and gave the rim a good twist, and lo and behold the screw rim came loose and I got it off! This also worked on my Shilke screw rim. So here is another solution. And thanks again to those that offered help!
