For some time I have been trying to find out how to replace the main control knobs on my Comand and have met with (financially) unsurmountable obstacles.

Cleaning the kettle today with Brasso wadding I noticed that it cleaned up the rubber/plastic parts a treat

With my Comand looking and feeling pretty manky I used the wadding on the control knobs and they came up a just fine!

It would seem that the knob had not deteriorated but had over the 5 years just got " finger dirty".:(

For those of you with a similar problem this may be a better and easier solution than replacement

I wondered where you had got to on that,, the other things that are good are keyboard cleaning sprays as they dissolve the human grease that builds up 0n them. not all solvents will touch human grease

Probably a better solution ( no pun intended !). I was just being pragmatic in arriving at an answer as I found it today.

So many solutions ( chemical) but some just disolve the problem...not what is wanted !
