After talking to Mark Palmquist and Julie McCall last week, I used a little Kroil, a penetrant that I found out about a couple of years ago. This stuff works better for me than anything else I've tried. Sprayed some down the center screw hole in the knob last week and let the radio sit. I gave the knob a pull today and off it came! Now I have the chassis out and ready for a chassis restore! Thanks to all, including Ron and Terry for their support!
