That's one solution...perhaps the only one depending on the physical
length of the shaft. I've seen people 'sleeve' pot and switch shafts
with brass tube stock, soldered back to the original. It depends on the
length of the broken stub coming out of the switch, and the material of
which it's made.
Another fix is to find a similar switch from the same maker and swap out
the shaft...or find a 'junker' as a donor.
