Thanks all for the advice. Turned out the regulator is ok, but the
plastic knob is connected via some very shallow splines on the stem, and
doesn't connect well. I wrapped the stem with Teflon tape and it works
ok, but I need to find a better way. I'll check at my favorite
old-fashioned hardware store for a knob.
