Hi Glen
 
I have had a number of SB101s through my hands with that knob broken. Where 
 the broken off part is still available they can be repaired with epoxy 
resin  glue and a metal support fitted into very small drilled holes in each 
part. For  the metal I first used part of a needlework pin and then part of a 
10BA or  12BA bolt where the thread gives a better grip to the adhesive.
 
A metal support should have been used in the original design as the SSB/CW  
filter switch can be fairly stiff to operate, even in good condition and 
that  knob has very thin material. The PA loading control is much easier to  
operate.
