Vintage Synth Repair

I've heard of taking string and making 2 loops and placing it under the knob and having the ends come out on oposite sides so you can pull evenly from both sides to pull up the knob,you grip it close to the knob and use leaverage by placing your closed hand on the instrument and rolling your fists,I've never had to try this but it is something I heard of.
