Tim, The knobs are really easy to over tighten, which puts them out of round. I had the same problem, and same response as you (K3 #4974). I did get a replacement set of knobs, and found that they too were easy to deform. Just tighten them the minimum needed to hold them in place - they will work fine. And yes, you do need to separate them just slightly to prevent friction binding.
Otherwise, this is the best radio I have ever owned. Get past this gripe and I am sure you will agree!
