Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

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!
