Hi Dave ,

When I saw your post it brought to mind that there are kits sold to extend a potentiometer's shaft that consist of a coupling to join two shafts , and a piece of shaft to be cut to the desired length . This setup could be used of course to provide a new shaft end to your tuner , the enclosed pic is one such setup I found on Amazon by searching "Oscilloscope control shaft extender" . (I searched oscilloscope because I remember seeing all kinds of shaft extenders in the old vacuum tube scopes)
