At this point my only problem is how to get the remaining knob off the
body. Then I can clean both knobs and escutcheons.

Usually one knob is permanently fixed to the shaft, and the knob and
shaft pull out as a single unit.

Could be, but I still don't see any way to accomplish this.

There's a cotter pin that holds the lock body assembly together. I'd
rather not take it out until I know what's inside there, but it may
allow me to take the whole thing apart.

It would be nice if someone who actually *knows* how these are made
could answer. In the meantime, I'm going to take it to the place where I
got it and see if they know.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I like it
because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".
