I'm pretty sure they're the same! The rheostate insert migt have
changed value for some years, but I think most any will work.

They're a PITA those things. Good 600 grit polish up, a bit
more tension in the contact shoudl do it, unless it's actually
burned up (which would require a short or something). You could
put a layer of grease on it too.
