haha thanks Alan,
I was waiting until I broke them before adopting your first approach
I had thought about using a heat gun but that's not exactly a precision instrument so I'll have a go with the soldering iron & screwdriver technique.
The radio works but its sensitivity and selectivity is much poorer than the other P53 I have so I thought I'd have a go. I got the set on eBay for spares and I've been treating it as my 'learner' set but now I've discovered what a lovely cabinet its got I'll be treating the chassis with more respect!
I'll let you know how I get on.
Cheers, John
