I've no idea, but originals are occasionally sold on eBay.

Very likely. Do the tail/marker lights work ? That would tell you the main
switch is OK, as well as the power to it.
Some care is called for ... those rheostats are expensive and a failure
frequently indicates a short somewhere in the dash lights. If you still have a
short, the new rheostat will quickly burn up.

Nope, sounds perfectly normal.
