Old Bushnell scope

A while back, I was gifted a rifle that has a Bushnell Banner scope on it. It's a 4 x 12 x 40 jobbie with an adjustable objective lens. It's basically like this (photo stolen from another site).
Shortly after I acquired it, the "Bullet Drop Compensator Elevation Knob" broke. I assume it's possible to get a replacement, but thought I would check with folks here before I started trying to search, to see if that's a common thing a person can get. I don't have any other scopes with that type of knob and it sure was handy when it worked.
Side note: the scope mount for this is new to me too. It folds over to the left side of the gun allowing you to use the iron sites if you want and then snaps into place when you want to use the scope.
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Here are knobs for Osprey, it looks like little set screws hold it in place. I bet if it didn't fit out of the box, you could make it fit in an hour.
The knob looks like this:

Looking on fleabay, there are quite a few BDC dials. It appears that you need to know which dial you need, based on what you are shooting. I found this chart, and hope it gets you going in the right direction.

Call Bushnell you might be surprised. The hinged scope mount was common at one time, especially for lever guns
