I've repaired many cracked Tentec knobs using the "super glue" otherwise
known as Eastman 911 Take the knob off of the shaft, remove the set
screw, and open the crack(s) a bit using a toothpick. Then squirt a
small amount of super glue in the crack, remove the toothpick. It may
be necessary to work a wedge in between the outer part and the part that
goes on the shaft. Allow the glue to cure for 24 hrs or so. Should be
ready to go again.

I recently acquired a 4229 tuner, which has had the Hi-Z/Lo-Z/Bypass knob fail.
(Cracked plastic where it connects to the shaft).
Of course it failed on first use, fortunately l had a (non matching) temporary
replacement.
Other gear also uses this knob... the bandswitch on my Corsair II, for one.
If anyone has a spare or three that they are willing to part with, please
contact me off list.
Thanks!
