Marantz 2250B Selector Knob Broken

Hi AK! I'm new here and just now getting into vinyl but man, am I ever hooked! My setup so far is a Realistic Lab-440 TT mated to a Marantz 2250B receiver with Marantz Model 7mkII speakers. The sound is fantastic for my purposes but I'm always looking for an improvement!

With that said, my 2250B really only has one cosmetic issue - the selector knob stalk is broken off, with probably 10mm of it sticking out of the knob itself and the rest of the stalk flush with the faceplate, more or less. This isn't a huge problem from a functionality standpoint, as I pretty much use it exclusively for phono right now, but I'd definitely like to get it fixed - it's too gorgeous a receiver to leave in bad cosmetic shape. Do you all think I can potentially fix what I have, and if not, will I need to get another switch and wire it in? (Very little experience with electronics so I'm reluctant to do that but I will if I need to). Thanks everyone!

The coincidence is kind of ridiculous. I've been browsing through for several days now and didn't see anything and the one day I get my dander up to post, BANG.

Edit: Do they vary at all between different models, or is a selector switch pretty well usable on any model?
 
It all depends on which model and which switch.
There are 3,4&5 wafer sections and varying number of positions.
It just so happens that I'm listening to a black faceplate 2250b I just finished up for a fellow akr.
It has a 6 position,5 wafer switch.

No worries mate! It happens to the best of us. I'm sure as long as you get a switch with the same number of decks you should be fine because all your looking for is the right length and detents here as youre only swapping the shaft.
