if it was like most of that vintage you would partially open up the jacknife couch so you can see underneath the whole thing. the couch frame is screwed to the floor on each of the 4 corners using lag bolts. you might want to have someone holding the couch frame and cushions so it wont close on your head.

sometimes the ductwork hose for the furnace that is usually under the couch runs through the frame of the couch so you would need to disconnect the duct hose. it will just have hose clamps on it.

the laminated base may or may not be screwed to the couch frame. if it is, then remove the screws

then with two people lift the couch frame up and out. it is heavy.

i have done it a number of times on 90-92 year newells
