[TenTec] How do you remove the Corsair II Tuning Knob?

[d.e.warnick at comcast.net]

Jerry, 

It always helped me to say bad things. Actually, I just checked the allen wrenches I used for that (don't have a Corsair II any more) and they are all 5/64 and smaller. And, the right one can be a rascal (you may substitute one of the bad words here) to get into the set screw. Just keep trying with the tiny wrenches. You're on the right track

Folks, 

     I am trying to remove the main tuning knob from the Corsair II. 
Someone told me the set screw took a 1/16 inch hex wrench (AKA allen). 
However, I have been unable to get the 1/16 inch Allen wrench to fit into 
the set screw.  Were there any other set screws used?  Is there a trick to 
getting the knob off  (you know, stand on your head with your tongue hanging 
out the left side of your mouth while whistling Dixie)?  Dunno, I am about 
to say bad things..
