But I suppose it could have been parted out, and in that regard I screwed up.

Not quite mold/mildew IIRC....Most knobs of that type of plastic grow that when not handled enough (vernacular for it is Knob fungus).....It is VERY easy to fix. Just pull the knobs off, let them soak in a cup of Ammonia formula Windex (or equivalent cleaner) for 1-5hours, and what does not dissolve/peel off you can scrub off with a discarded tooth brush (or equivalent). I've done it many times. Not really as icky as you think, just looks bad until dealt with.
Webster Chicago/Webcor stuff has a high tendency to get that.
