With those rectangular clips I'm thinking that a pair of snap ring pliers may work. The tips of a straight pair of snap ring pliers may fit in those triangular notches between the clip and the Bakelite stud and you could spread the clip much like a snap ring. They used a lot of those ones on radios too but they came from the auto industry to hold trim parts on, like a name badge for a fender for example. I've heard them called push nuts but always just described them as spring clips.
I suspect that the values in the carbon composition resistors in your set may drift a little bit as the set heats up, due to the ambient heat inside the cabinet. Those components may not necessarily drift out of tolerance, but just enough to have to make additional adjustments, even after all the hard work you did trying to get everything fine-tuned. Those early B&W and color sets were notorious for that. I was unaware that a picture of such high quality could be achieved from a set this old.
Ish! Tinnerman nuts--it was like every Chicago radio manufacturer was in love with those goddamn things. Supposedly there was a special tool you could use to remove them without breaking the pin off, but I've yet to see one.
@batterymaker I've always heard them called push nuts, I always thought that Tinnermen nuts were those hex shaped nuts made out of stamped steel. With regard to the rectangular push nuts I've always been able to get them off by gently prying upward between the teeth and the body of the spring with a jeweler's screwdriver, at least with Bakelite and metal studs. The ones I hate are the circular ones shaped like a washer, there is no gap between the teeth and I have to cut them with a Dremel.

@batterymaker Ah, I didn't know they had a name. I did finally get 'em all off, but wasn't pretty.

@bandersentv you need a bigger apartment or find a house cheap but that is expensive
and the cash is better suited in getting more tvs and restoring them LOL
nice job on restoring the tv just dont brake the studs removing the speaker board
best the brake the clips and get new ones
bigger Ace hardware stores have lots of bins with all kinds of them for replacement
