Rob,
I had exactly the same experience with both switch knobs on my 238A. The
first time it happened, Ten-Tec sent free replacements. However, they
lasted even less time. I then tried filling the back of the knobs with
epoxy. That didn't work. So I replaced mine with a set of older, heavy duty
knobs from my junk box. No more problems.
73,
