My  Blue Striper's big knobs had similar problems.  My  solution:

1.  Drill out the knob body (be careful you don't go  through the front!)
2.  Use JB Weld to glue in a new slotted stainless  tube.
3.  Reattach  knob.

I can repair these for list members. I use a Bridgeport to ensure the  repair 
is centered. I can also add a spinner knob. Don't help on ther Mc knob,  but 
it's great for the Kc knob.
 
Also, knobs glass beaded and refinished. I like to remove the 'parting  line' 
on the knobs during the refinishing process......
 
Please reply off-line and photos are available.
