Barry,
	I know about the knob problem on CorsairII. In the past I have repaired 
these knobs. First you remove the set-screw from the knob. Next you use 
silicon to fill the area where the setscrew travels through the knob. 
The inter collar breaks where the switch shaft contacts the knob. I take 
a pare of needle nose pliers and reform this collar as best as I can. I 
use superglue on the cracked plastic. After the superglue has set I use 
JB Weld to back fill the space between the inside collar and the outside 
skirt of the knob. Now you remove the silicon that protected the 
setscrew area of the knob. Knobs repaired this way have worked for many 
years. I hope this helps,

	Take Care, 73'S  KA5SIW
