Hi all, this is a simple question... How do I remove the tuning dial and volume knob from the top of my Raytheon 8TP1? I don't want to try and force them off and damage them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

They pull straight up and off of their spindles. They don't have any setscrews.

Mine are on real tight, I can't seem to get them off. Should be trying to pull the whole knob off or the centerpiece of the knob?
