When I replaced the knob on one of mine I used a 1/16 wrench that  
seemed to do the job (at least that's what it says in my maintenance  
notes from back in 2001).

Sounds like you have a problem with that switch....it should only  
have four detent positions that it goes to: Track - M/fc - SP/SH -  
Baud; note that it does not go to what appears to be the "Var"  
position as that indicator is for the smaller switch immediately to  
the lower right of the mode switch.  As an aside, depending on the  
age of your box the Memory switch may only indicate six positions  
when there are in fact actually eight memories; later boxes had eight  
positions marked on the front panel.
