I am trying to remove the chassis from the cabinet of an AK40 but can't get the knob off the volume control. There is no screw on it and it seems to be spring loaded but I don't see any release mechanism. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Nick

Nick, I am 99 percent sure that the radio removes from the case after removing the TUNING knob, and maybe other stuff, but NOT the volume KNOB. The entire volume control MECHANISM WITH KNOB, comes right out with the radio. The volume control mechanism can be serviced then if need be. Once opened up, you will see the knob (I think) is held on by a spring clip over the shaft.

Nick: I have three AK40, it is very easy remuve the chassis from the box.
1.- Remove the knob for the sintony.
2.- Remove 4 ó 6 screws, 2 ó 3 at left of the first variable capacitor and another 2 ó 3 al rigth side of the secord audio tranformer, the small black cilinder.
3.- Remove the cover of the power supply and remove all nuts from the connector board of the power wires.
4.- Remove the nut of the power swith located under the volume knob.
5.- Remove the 2 screws fron the antenna and grond connector.
The chassis is free, you do not need to remove the knob control.
Let me know if this help to you.

Thanks for your help; yes, the whole volume control is part of the chassis including the knob and comes right out of the big opening in the cabinet. The fit is so good one would not suspect this to be the case as in most radios the knobs are always taken off to remove the chassis. I'm glad I asked, otherwise I would have damaged my set. Thanks again, Nick
