Re: {Collins} Spinner knob question

["Dave Harmon" <k6xyz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

They are glued on with some kind of brown contact glue....if it is the
original glue it is probably Ply-o-bond. I haven't seen that glue in a
loooong time.
I use Weldwood now....works the same and is just as messy.

If you have an original weighted Collins knob the skirts are metal and have
3 small screws holding them on....no glue.

Hello all,
                        Can anyone tell me how to remove the skirts of the 
S-Line spinner knob, without destroying it?

Tnx & 73,
