Thank you, finally a voice of reason!
Its not that I couldn't use a file (I've used one before at my parents place when I still lived there with them because my dad owns a couple of files) its just trying to figure out what size of file to use and trying to make sure I don't take off too much metal and ruin the knob in the process. I know I could go to a flea market to get some files, in fact there's a booth at the one flea market where one of my customers works at that has hundreds of files for sale in his booth but the intimidating part is like I said trying to find the right size of file for the task, I don't want to get too big of a file and end up taking too much metal off of the control's shaft and then ruin it and I don't want to get too small of one either and take too little metal off and then not have the knob fit at all.
