Ok, I am at wits end. Friend has a 300 that got dropped and the cast faceplate got bent. Good news amp works perfectly. T&R took some repair but decent. I had the entire front from a parts only 300 soIsaid "let's just swap the faceplates. Ahh the innocence of being a naive old man. Took off the knobs and got off all but 4 of the retaining nuts. They are frozen to the shafts of the pots. Soaked in WD40 for days...even did some impacting with a screwdriver. No luck. Suggestions on what to spray these with to free them from the corrosion.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions. Really looking to getting his 300-5 back in shape for him.
