I have been trying to disassemble the Zenith 12H090Z I bought a couple weeks back and have hit a snag. The knobs have taken a real set on the shafts and I am pratically dragging the whole console around pulling on them! I see no set screws and the cabinet design makes for lousy leverage. Any hints on how to get them off without (further) damage to the wood or chassis?
I also now remember why I have never tried to take apart a postwar Zenith before. Lots of plugs and screws! Icon_crazy

No matter where you go, there you are.
