Thanks for the advice. I'll have to try and get some WD-40 as I am fresh out of it. The chassis slope upwards in this style Zenith and it is not easy to get anything up into the knob shafts. Now, I wonder if I have a shoelace strong enough to wrap around the shaft of the knob? Also, something tells me I should keep my mouth closed and get a pair of safety glasses on when I try this!

No matter where you go, there you are.
