The tower has been an issue since day one. In addition to having issues with the knobs, the biggest headache is that the starboard side of the tower doesn't meet the base. It's off by about .625". A great deal of effort needs to be applied in order to secure it with the knob.

It has been in the shop 4 times this year alone. They have tried to align it, which made it worse. A Yamaha Rep has looked at it twice. I'm guessing a defective tower which should be replaced. They had to pull the tower speaker and courtesy light wires as well as the mid cabin speakers.
Hopefully Yamaha has an answer on Monday.

It looks strange without the tower.

Finally found a use for streaming in the truck. Waiting out a rain delay at the soccer field.
