Default Re: Brenell Purchases

Been trying to remove the Series 2 tape deck from its case which requires the control knobs to be removed, to be able to remove that the top panel (Mask) to access the deck securing screws.

The Rewind control knob was loose on its control shaft, but would not come off. Found that the screwdriver slot for its securing grub screw is broken, after some struggling managed to extract the grub screw and pull off the knob. But the metal knurled insert from the knob has come out of the knob and is stuck on the rewind control shaft.

Really struggling to remove the insert from the shaft. It is strange because the insert will rotate fairly easily in both directions around the stationary shaft but will not budge at all when attempting to pull/lever the insert off the shaft ?

Do not want to use too much brute force in case the rewind control and/or the top panel get damaged.
