Just an update: I finally with good light and my reading glasses saw a very small c-clip on the shaft of the tuning knob! Removed it without it flying in the air as most do and with some light heating and careful taping from a little hammer, got the dang shaft out. Didn't take long to ream out the pot metal bearing to being round and all is well. Well, other than that, I still can't get that blasted casting out. Yes the pot metal has expanded to such that it will not come out. Looks like some careful dremmel work coming up to cut 1/32 off of one side of the chassis opening to allow removal. Not brain surgery but should be fun. I need to get that removed to get to the tuner bearings which looks like removal of the rotating wipers and pulling the whole shaft out to get to the bearings. Hope you smart guys and gals are sticking with me. This should be fun. More fun getting the V/C back together and aligned.
