Hi Perry

I moved this thread to Philco Cabinet Restoration as it seemed to be a more appropriate home for it.

Over the years, the most common "cure" I have read about for this problem is to put a piece of heavy string behind the stuck knob, wrap once around the shaft if at all possible, and then pull as hard as you can with both hands - one on either side of the knob, pulling on both ends of the string. Be aware that the knob may very well end up flying across the room.
