I am having a problem in removing the tuning knobs on a Philco 38-40 radio. There is an outside knob and an inside knob. The outside knob is for quick tuning and the inside knob is for fine tuning of the station. There doesn't appear to be any set screws on either knob. The outer knob will pull forward some but seems to be held on by the inner knob which won't budge. Also there is no good way to hold on to the inner knob to pull it off. The knobs are both bakelite, could the inner knob be threaded on the shaft?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
