If you pull on the tuning wheel from the back, it will pop off.
When you put it back together, make sure you tune it to a station of known frequency, in the middle of the band, then align the dial/pointer before pushing it back together.
Looks in fine condition and I bet the tubes are all OK. One of the last tube radios?
Edit: This radio, like many from the mid-60's had tension rings with a set of ears that prevented knobs from being pulled off completely, exposing a metal shaft that was possibly energized with line voltage.

When I wiggle the chassis, I can see the FM/AM dial moving inside the plastic housing. Haven't had time lately because of work, but I plan to try again on Fri. to get it apart. I did manage to test the tubes...all test good. All original "Zenith" tubes, including the German-made 12DT8 dated 02-66. I wonder who made it?(no diamond on bottom-not Telefunken)
