With the Main Set Receiver now on its back on the work desk again, I was able to remove the Handles No. 80, Flick Lever Control, and the two heavy KNOBS, Metal, No. C1 that are used to pull the receiver out of the Carriers No. 4, and stuff it back in.
The upper KNOBS assembly came out nicely along with its star washer and 10-32 Hex Nut. The lower Knob, under the loud speaker took a little more work than it should have done.
Behind the front panel of the receiver, the lower KNOBS, Metal, No. C1 is used as a ground stud for an electrical circuit. It holds one of those teardrop shaped ring terminals on a wire lead. The type of terminal that serves as a lock washer. The 10-32 Hex Nut and the terminal came off the stud on the base of the Knobs assembly OK, but it took some coaxing to get the Knobs itself free from the panel. I have to take a closer look this evening.
The two Knobs and the Handle have now been cleaned and base coat primers applied to them all. With luck, and no snow tomorrow, they should be able to get their topcoat of Gloss Navy Grey.
