I can not pry off the knob, it's too in the radio. I am now trying to
see it I could make some kind of a small clamp that can work as a lever.
This would give me leverage to turn to the knob for ssb operations.

Any ideas?


File flats on either side of the knob?

I have a President Washington CB. The am, lsb, usb knob or button is
hard to turn. Their nothing wrong with the knob. Maybe only the
design. It too round and I can not get a good grip on it. Often I use a
cloth to grip it to turn.

Now, I am thinking about taking off the knob and replacing it with a
chicken head or what ever more narrow knob I would find.

I would like to know if I could simply use a small flat driver and pry
off the knob?

I hope that I do not have to open up the radio.


The knob may just lift off, or it may have a set screw that must be backed
off before removing the knob.
