Scott,
I'm with Bob, just jumper across the rheostat, which is the same thing
as having it turned to full on anyway. When you get the new rheostat,
instead of throwing the old one away, carefully remove the back from it
and use some contact cleaner to clean the wire coil and the contact,
then lubricate the shaft and you will probably have a back up rheostat
to carry in your spares. These rheostats rarely actually burn out, they
normally just get dirt and corrosion on the wire coil and the slider
contact that prevents current flow and cleaning them will bring them
back to life.
Good luck,
Dave
