Finger nail polish remover (acetone), rubbing alcohol, everclear or even gasoline & paper towel

One solution is to just pull the knobs off and buy some cute replacements online.

That's happened to my little Keith McMillen one. It's vile.

It might be something to do with excess humidity, not sure. Not been anywhere dry enough to test this... Seems to affect flexible plastics particularly, so perhaps the plasticiser's unstable, as with PVC?

This happened to the mod and pitch wheels on mine (not even old 😭). I just took off the coating with isopropyl alcohol

Great design!!!!

It's the kind that will easily allow me to arrange in bed with the telly on, so I think salvaging it will be worth it
