The knobs might be held captive to the cabinet, so they won't pull off completely.

yup, I saw that extra black wire going to the clock switch, I didn't mention it earlier because it is out of the picture. What about cutting the wires and using wire nuts to reattach...or is that not something that should be done? I understand that by 1969 Zenith was building these radios on the cheap, making them not as easy to service.
dieseljeep, do you still have one of these "Z" models? Mine has what appears to be wooden spacers between the chassis and the front of the case. All the date codes on the tubes (except the Amperex) are from mid-1967 or early 1968. (i.e. the 35C5 has "68-09" on it.)
