The volume control wheel on my Grundig YB-400 is a little staticy, so
I wanted to remove the back of the chassis to get to the control (on
the side of radio), in order to apply isopropyl ***, but removing
the 3 screws on the back didn't seem to release it. Does anyone know
if this is possible, or desirable, or another way? BTW I was careful
to unplug the radio, and to remove the batteries, first.

The back cover is also locked at the bottom or top of the case (I don't
remember). Should unlock it gently.

just use radio-shack tuner cleaner
by putting a drop inside the control from the side
of thet YB400 .

If U insist removing the back cover, remove
one more***from the battery compartment
and then release the small plastic tabs
that snap into place between the halves of the case at the bottom.
You could do that by carefully inserting (1/4nch length) of a small
screwdriver between the case halves near the bottom of the case.

GOOD LUCK

There is a***underneath the flip out stand in the back, or a total of
4 screws to remove...

Thanks to all who wrote in response to my request. I decided to try
something
rather simple, similar to what "abcd1234" recommended immediately
below. I just
dipped a cotton swab into isopropyl *** and gently rubbed it along
the
crack alongside the volume control wheel, letting some drip inside.
Then I just
rotated the wheel back and forth several times, which seemed to
eliminate the
static. No need to remove the back cover, thankfully.

Sorry for the multiple postings! Deja News was screwing up, saying it
couldn't send my message, when it apparently did!
