[TenTec] Knob for 227 Tuner

[k7mks at comcast.net]

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.
