interesting. I was thinking of popping the tuner knob and swapping with the broken radio power button knob. I may do that and still fix the broken one and put it on the tuner side.

I think will be good to put a little epoxy inside the new bottom to prevent cracking in the future.

agreed. I used a bit of mighty putty for re-enforcement

How is the knob holding up after being glued?

[@iwentoschoolforthis]

Still holding up.

What size did you use for the PCB bolts? I tried the smallest two I had: 4mm and 5/32" and both were too large.

[@iwentoschoolforthis]

Can't say i remember. I had a computer repair kit that the right size. if i end up taking it apart again I can update

[@dtektbs3495]

why not buy a new knob?

[@iwentoschoolforthis]

Saw the OEM price. lol. They are on eBay for 10$ but i figured id see if i could still use what i got given i have to take it apart anyways. Still haven't had any issues with it...knock on wood

Nooo just snip out the volume button and file down the new one 10 min lol

[@iwentoschoolforthis]

sure, but mine was broke in such a way that the only option was to take it apart.
