Thanks for all your comments.
Unfortunately, I live many miles from anything that even resembles a repair shop. Fortunately (depending on your perspective), my old King is quite beat-up, with maybe 60% of the lacquer left. It still sounds good and plays well, but cosmetically it is, to be blunt, past its prime.
I will have to "un-collapse" the slide before even attempting to solder the knob back on. For now, I simply use a cloth ribbon when the slide needs tuning.
