Re: [TenTec] MUSHY KNOBS

["Denton" <denton@oregontrail.net>]

I used to have a 580 Delta...didn't take long before the bandswitch got a 
crack where the set screw was...
Ditto for my Omni and my Corsair II..
I took a small piece of steel wire, wrapped it around the outside of the 
inner part of the knob on each...that solved that.
