Loose volume knob on Forte 44 preamp-can I fix?

The volume knob on my Forte 44 preamp is totally disconnected inside the piece. I can pull it out about 3/4" (though not all the way off). I cannot control the volume with the knob (only via the remote). Has anyone been inside one of these? I'm wondering if it's something I can fix myself.

Thanks!

How difficult is it to get to the part, apart from taking the cover off?

Thanks for the help!

I see the set screws you're talking about. However, it isn't just the knob which is loose. Or, rather, it isn't the knob--the knob is fastened securely to a metal piece which is supposed to be inside the preamp, presumably connected to a rheostat somehow. So the knob together with the metal column to which it is attached slides out.

I did find out that my output knob is unfastened--this will take one of the two remedies that Swampwalker mentioned.

Thanks--I very much appreciate the feedback.
