Thanks for the suggestion! I completely neglected to take off one of
the other knobs to see how they attach. I saw the center screws on the
others and assumed that they threaded into the shaft. It looks as
though the two pots in question may have a millimeter or two snapped
off, but there's still enough shaft there to work with. I guess I don't
need replacements after all. Thanks again!
