Update: I'm planning on soldering it this weekend. I didn't want y'all to think I'd abandoned the poor thing.
Broken Tuning Shaft Toshiba

You might want to see if you can find some brass scraps to practice on.
Make sure all the metal surfaces are Bright and clean of any oxidation.
Do Not overheat the part, Excessive heat oxidizes the brass.
Hardest item is getting the parts aligned.
Good luck.
PS: The best tool I've found for removing stuck knobs is a large "Claw" hammer or Crow bar...

Success! Strong and true! I used a bit too much solder, but I put the shaft in my cordless drill and filed and then sanded to the right diameter. I used guitar nut file to re-create the groove for the clip. Thank you all for the help and support! Now I have to re-string the tuner…
