[TenTec] WTB: 4229 Knob

[Bob McGraw]

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.
