Default Adapting a potentiometer shaft

On Wed, 20 May 2009 15:14:30 -0700 (PDT), Vasil
put finger to keyboard and composed:

I want to change the pot on my amplifier with one from Alps. The
problems is the only Alps pot that matches the dimensions and
resistance has a slotted shaft and my amp has a pot with a flattened
shaft. Is there a way to adapt a slotted shaft so the knob for the
flattened shaft can fit without a problem?


Drill the original knob and insert a plastic bush salvaged from
another suitable knob ???
