Ok so  the track inside the pot has small "blank spots" towards the top and bottom, are these tracks actually on the pcb or the pot itself?  i have been trying to find a 100k lin pot @45mm with a 35mm throw but so far nothing doing, do you know where i could find one?

poly love

So i took her apart again, resoldered all the wires from KLM597-b. and no change again.    took it apart once more and noticed inside the speed pot the contact seemed much more dirty than the bend rate and tune pots.   so after a better clean with Servisol Super10 and a vigorous slider session things improved dramaticallly though not 100%, now after an hour or 2 things have gone back to norman slow and slower,  should i take apart the pot and give it a thorough clean? is this possible without removing it from the board?.
