Volume Control--Can I disassemble it? I have the cabinet finished, but before the chassis goes in, I'd like to know if I can repair the volume control. It has one annoying dead spot--probably where it was set during it's years of disuse. This is part 33-5113 combination on/off and volume. I've had limited success in repairing a couple of volume rheostats, but I'd prefer to leave this one alone rather than risk further damage.

Does this control have a wire-wound resistive element? How difficult would it be to open the case and then reassemble it?

(Incidentally, relevant to my last post, the problem was just a bad connection to a tube cap.)
