Good Morning Garey. My wife Muriel thinks you are a Miracle Man! I had told her of my unsuccessful struggles with the knobs. Immediately after reading your email last night I went into my Radio Room, performed the "Handkerchief Trick" and both knobs came off smoothly and without undue effort! Thank you. John GI3KDR.

No hidden tricks. I use a couple of thicknesses of cardboard over the bottom trim strip as a fulcrum for a screwdriver blade. The trick is to pry slowly and under control. The cardboard is to spread out the force against the aluminum trim strip so as not to damage it. Another old time trick is to work the edge of a handkerchief behind the knob and gather in such a way as to give you a bigger "handle" to pull on. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line & TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs <www.k4oah.com> John Stringer wrote: > I have tried to pull off the Aux7 and Mode knobs without success!
