trucker...and all: trucker, couldn't have done this right without you. Thank you. I never did pull very hard 'cause I've been through some of this kind of thing before. Knobs were really brittle, (dry - hot climate here) So I broke them off. Rest was easy. Found the hefty little brass sleeves over shafts with set screws. Screws loosened easily. All came apart well. Radio settled right into my hands. Still has that tan/maroon color on the case, (or whatever one calls the original color). Very little or no rust on everything. Wonderful photos you also linked. Radio is inside the house now. 'Gotta find my repro knobs next.
