Egret II Remote "brightness knob," replacement/repair.

[supergrafx77]

I've been putting this off for awhile, but need to get this thing fixed/or replaced. Looks like this should be a pretty easy enough fix, though?
My monitor is stuck on the brightest level/I think, due to the knob/thing on the remote/white plastic thing, having broke off the remote.
Been like this probably for a year/year an a half now....
Due to health reasons/lung problems, etc..., as well as the scarcity of the part in question/crude soldering skills, I can't & should not do the repair myself.
Anyone know the exact knob thing I need for replacement on these remotes/where to order? And someone here on the forums that could do such a repair?
Wish all four of the white lower knobs could be replaced with the sturdier black ones above those white ones-being the horizontal/vertical/zoom, etc.. knobs?
I've been noticing my burn-in getting worse a bit to a small degree, and think I should be lowering the brightness down a tad/should of asked about this shit like a year ago....
Here's the knob I'm talking about, top one of the four on the remote with the white turn-thingee missing:

I don't have the exact model potentiometer needed, but if you're willing to part with your remote board for a few days I can probably have a friend locally perform the swap for you. I don't think I would suggest replacing it with an entirely different style pot though.

Are you certain you still can't reposition what's left of the pot with a screwdriver? The photo doesn't really make the damage all that clear.

Thanks StarCreator. That would be great if maybe a local friend of yours could swap it out for me.
I'm pretty sure these pots are soldered on the remote board. Will double check to make sure.
BTW, I ordered the replacement pots.
Grantspain over at Arcade Otaku, said these remotes' pots are type 3k3, but 3k will work as well.
So I ordered it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DZ913-3K-OHM-Tr ... SwOVpXV8RY
Shipping is from China, so might have these anywhere from December to come January.

Yes, they are certainly soldered on. Shoot me a PM when they arrive and we'll figure out how to get them on for you, though for that time frame it would probably need to happen after MAGFest (unless you want to bring the cab there, in which case we could probably expedite/work on it on site).

Sweet. Thanks so much StarCreator. BTW, is MAGFest happening local?
I'd be down w/ my cab being there if local or not if you got transport down (that would be cool actually/are you bringing along your cab, etc???), although I don't have a means to transport EII/bout' to even sell my car/Volvo 240 here (and that wouldn't even be able to transport a cab if I even tried).
Anyways, regardless. Thanks again, in Japanese, and as my first late RIP Nippon-ex said, so much, : "SO MUCH!"

MAGFest is in National Harbor, about a 20-30 minute drive from College Park. Thread here: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=58075

Specifically, they have a badge for a cab program where people who bring arcade cabinets can potentially get free registration for the event. Details here: http://magfest.org/bringarcadegames

Are you still in College Park? I miiiight be able to find a way to move your cab if so, but no promises yet.

Hey Starcreator, yeah, still same place, in college park.
