Unhappy What should I use to free up the stitch regulator knob?

I've tried everything I have...... fluid film worked on the rusted up bobbin winder and it wouldn't move. It turns freely now..... winds a bobbin nicely.

But this stubborn stitch regulator knob won't budge...... and alas, I scratched the decal trying to use a pair of pliars to move it.

I polished the parts I could polish. My son finally got the screw loose that had the plate over the feed dog. I took out years of packed in fuzz... don't know how the feed dog could even move!!

Do any of you have any suggestions about how to get this stitch regulator to move??? I think it's the only thing left that isn't moving freely.... and even though it sews, the stitch is too long. Of course I still need to do the shellac refinishing that Glenn so kindly has be telling about. This is a pretty machine.... even with its scratch..... I'm so mad at myself for that.
