That's what I am assuming: I guess the tuning capacitor is a 'polyvaricon' type - these often have a hole down the end of the (very short) tuning-spindle to retain the knob.

To remove - you've got to remove the metal disc - as suggested, warming with a hot-air-gub/hairdryer may soften whatever glue is used to hold the metal plate to the centre of the knob.
