UnTableForming a TableFormed Table?

Suppose you create a "source" table in Table form:

  myTableS = Table[ ----- ],  

then create a "formatted" version of it, with TableForm options added:

  myTableF = TableForm[ TableS, {tableheadings, tablepacings, etc} ]

Is there any _simple_ way to "UnTableForm" the formatted table to get 
back to the unformatted source table?

   myTableS  ??=??  UnTableForm[ myTableF ] 

----------

[Why would anyone want this?  Well, now you can have a _single_ module 
that creates a formatted table, which then carries _both_ its data and 
its labels.  You can run the module several times for different input 
parameter values; Print[] the individual formatted tables with their 
labels; or unformat them to ListPlot[] them, Join[] them, etc.  

One can envision a smarter Join[] command that would function for tables 
like the DisplayTogether[] command does for plots, joining the data in a 
set of formatted tables, then (as an option) restoring the formatting 
options from the last table in the set to the joined tables.]
