Al: Do you happen to have a knob for a 227 antenna tuner. There are 4, all the
same with a silver colored insert. Physically the same as a bandswitch on a
Corsair I and 2 and tuner models 238, 229 and many others.
Thanks joe k7mks

Simpler than that - just take a small section of a piece of 1/8" or so ty-wrap
and wedge it into the gap opposite the side where the set screw is. I've
successfully rescued several of said knobs that way.
