It's a pretty simple device. Mine got quite loose a few days ago and I had to tighten the collar on the spring washers to add some friction. Bit of a PITA because if you move the collar a fraction of a mm, the set screw wants to reseat in its old position. Took me about 15 minutes, now it's really tight.

You couldn’t just clock it a few degrees off the old position, so the set screw misses the divot left by the old setting?

Nope, there's a flat on the shaft so you can't change the stop position of the collar/set screw, which is a good thing. I was trying to slide the collar towards the spring washer to add a bit of friction to the shaft/knob assembly to prevent it from rotating on its own. Really all it needed was to be moved a few hundreths of an inch to add that bit of friction, but the indentation from the previous setting doesn't allow such a small adjustment. You've really got to hold the collar in the new position and try and force a new indentation to get it to hold.
