Thanks HH,

If I have to go to a new knob, that one in the pic looks just like it. There's nothing wrong with the knob or shaft that I can see, though. As far as I can see, the little shaft is probably heat set into the plastic knob. I imagine the knob will break if I try much fiddling with it. I'd rather find a way to re-set the existing shaft by drilling a little hole in the end of the shaft. I like your idea of using glue. That way, I wouldn't need a perfect fit for the new piece.

This will be a delicate operation, but I think it's less prone to screwups on my part than most other things I can think of.
