How do you remove a Fisher 400 tuning knob?

[pauljb]

I have a Fisher 400 that has replacement tuning knob on the front for the radio tuner section that doesn't match the rest of the brass topped knobs. It's much larger. I was wanting to replace the tuning knob with one that looks original and more inline with the original style knobs.

My question is, are Fisher 400 tuning knobs something you can just pry off? Are they easy to remove? I was going to order a more accurate looking one off of eBay, but wasn't sure if it's an easy thing to switch out. I have very little tech experience, so any help would be appreciated!

Mine just pulled off. Be careful if it is really stuck on the shaft because pulling it could do damage
If the knob on yours has a set screw to hold it on you’ll need to loosen it first.

Just check to make sure the knob you have on there now does not have a set screw hiding somewhere. The original would just push on and pull off like the other control knobs.

2 spoons did it for me -- I put tape on them...tuning knob was the hardest...

Great! Thank you all for your replies! I'll check for screws, but otherwise, I'll just plan to pull them off.

@kappclark,
2 spoons is a resourceful fix. Plus, possible scratches from screwdrivers and pry bars are eliminated. Nice...
