Sometimes those knobs get really tight with age. If you pull hard enough you can actually damage the controls, especially the left one or volume control. If they are really bad, I would try a heat gun or hair dryer. If that fails, I would break them with a large pair of side cutters. Finding replacement controls is really difficult.

There is a recent post in the radio forum by a member who bought a new repro and wasn`t very happy with it. I was hoping other people would comment on it.
