help needed with a frozen tuner

[bgadow]

Interesting, earlier today I was reading an old, old thread over on the ARF and guys were talking about frozen tuners on German sets. They were using a propane torch to heat them up (the shaft, I guess) but in this case I don't know that you would want to try something like that without getting that cover out of the way. Guess you could try a BIG soldering iron, held to the shaft for many minutes.
