[sdiy] Moog Rogue dissasembly

[nick ames]

Ok,
I tried pulling slightly harder on the knobs, and using my fingers to 
sort of brace under it,
but when I do, it causes the other controls to move, because it is  
actually _warping_ the board!
This is making me kind of nervous about it. Maybe if I opened up the 
synth first and then
removed the screws holding the board to the case so that all the knobs 
had equal pressure
from gravity and then they would come off easier, or is there a better way?
Oh, and I think the knobs are original, because the slider knobs have 
turned kind of yellow with age.
