From memory, the knobs just pull off, but there may be a grubscrew in the inner knob, be carefull of the dial glass when removing.

They pull off, as described here ...

If they are stuck, don't use a screwdriver. Try a hairdryer on them, or get some string behind them and pull.

Cheers,

Steve P.

String for definite or a thin piece of cloth.
They don't half take some shifting on this set !

Hey guys thanks for the help....

You are right they certainly are stuck on,a squart of WD40 and a loop of wire around the back help to shift the blighters.
