What is with these things?

The second P780A I just received has the same problem with the volume knob. It was epoxied onto the shaft. This time there was so much glue that the concentric tone control was glued to the volume knob. I do have enough parts now to make a pristine working example of this great radio - minus the volume knob.

Are these knobs particularly fragile? I find it strange to get two in a row with glued knobs. Anyone have an extra or can suggest a suitable replacement?

I'm going to fix this radio up, get it working perfect and when I find a knob, I'll just slide it on.
