If it is the same as my 1971 was, then the only way to get it out, and to get it to work again is to loosen the bottom section of the bath vanity and gently bend it down. There might be crud in the tracks, or the entire vanity has shifted and is jamming the tambour shut.
Start at the wide side bottom,and start removing rivets and screws. You will also have to somhow managet o take alook inside the tiny closet next to the sink, if so equipped. Some of the securing screws come through the divider wall and into the extrusions.
The vertical extrusion on the left under the sink will have to be freed on teh bottom for this to come loose. You will have to re-caulk with silicone to make all the joints water proof again. I once removed my entire wet bath to replace a floor section that had rotten underneath the shower pan.
