OOoohhhh! I see. Water hoses. For some reason I was thinking of 
air hoses. My mistake, sorry.

I've never done it, but I would think that these could be replaced by 
clear plastic hose that you can buy at the hardware store. I don't 
think I have any spares right now.

OTOH, if falling off is their only problem, then you could re-glue 
them, but they do tend to split and leak when they get old.

Check the knobs, gearing, and cables. Also check the cable ends 
to make sure some of them haven't fallen off the part they are 
supposed to control. With a flashlight, and a cramped neck, I think 
it should be possible to watch them while you turn the knob and 
make sure that they're working.
