 Hobby stores have white plastic modeling parts that includes rods that do well for repairing the Johnson knobs.

 I used the white lollypop sticks cut to length. Also used a very tiny
amount of super glue on both cut ends. Keeps the end material from
flaring out.
My Ranger and Valiant had 5 missing ones when I got both of them back in
90's. Applied these sticks back then, and even with knob usage, they
haven't fallen out.
