Vintage Synth Repair

Have you tried taking a large handkerchief with a sewn border. Wrap the 
border 1 and 1/2 turns between the knob and the panel. Bunch the rest of the 
material in your hand and pull gently but firmly.  Have you double checked 
that the top of the knob is not a cleverly concealed cover with a nut and 
collet hiding underneath.
