Gents,
What a great list.
Thanks again for the direct & reflected replies.
I removed the bezel by gently prying it loose. I removed the keeper spring and
used
some crocus cloth to smooth the outer shaft. I put on a drop of Teflon
impregnated
oil & re-assembled bezel & knob. It works perfectly now.
PITA getting the 'keeper' back on.
What's interesting is I applied oil to the bezel when the knob was off (bezel
still
attached) waited awhile & it didn't help. Holding the bezel & turning the knob
was an
exercise in futility. The knobs were on tightly & would not pull off till freed
with the
allen driver.
Yes, under a magnifying light, the 3 dots on the bezel are melted plastic, not
paint.
Thanks all!
Gary
