Help. I noticed my overhead lights were on the other day when they should't have been. I reached up to turn them off, and the knob to the Pot was very hot. The metal plate behind the Pot was so hot I couldn't keep a finger on it.  The knob is difficult to turn sometimes (crunchy), and sometimes gets stuck full on, or I turn it off (click detent) and the whole assembly cools, but turning it on in any position it really heats up. The variable voltage or resistance (dimming) is intermittent, or doesn't work at all. 


What is the best strategy here for a 1966 model?  


A.  Remove, clean, return and see what happens? Could it just be dirt?


B.  Remove, rebuild?


C.  Replace?  


It seems a simple thing to replace, but do I need to order this from Mooney?
