I fixed a broken tape player volume knob by drilling a tiny hole in 
the post, and then inserting a tiny round piece of metal into the 
resulting hole, gluing it in, and then gluing the knob on the part
of the metal sticking out. The metal is tuff enough so that it will
probably never break. The metal I used was from one of those tiny 
little screwdriver sets, I just took one of the smallest bits and used
it. You could also use a toothpick instead of metal, as someone 
mentioned earlier. Hope this helps!
