You will need a new kob (quite sure that TT still has some on stock), but
then the following mod will solve the problem forever:

Exactly at the setscrew mark on the bandswitch shaft drill a 0.1" diameter
hole through the shaft (careful ! I used a hand drill ...). The hole does not
have to go all the way through the shaft, a dead-end hole about half the
way is enough. File the tip of the setscrew to give it the shape of a
truncated cone. Now the knob sits tight with minimal pressure on the
setscrew.
