Repair of the rheostat is pretty easy. Open the plastic cover carefully and you see where the needles rides. That area is just worn out. Use a dremel on low speed with a soft brush. I used a brass brush very briefly to expose new contact area. It will shine when you are through the coating. i just barely bent the needle to make good contact on the new area as it was easier than moving the board which is your other option.
