Yours is beautiful and got a good deal on it . That case is immaculate!
If it really is stuck, it just needs a good cleaning. There are several old threads about that on here. As I understand it, the 401 parts are very finely meshed. They must be oiled to work properly, but old oil can dry up and get sticky to the point it keeps parts from moving.
I'm sure you tried this, but one knob turns by pulling out and the other by pushing in.
