It should work, as long as the wattage of the rheostat is the same or higher than the original. The control will be a bit twitcher than the old one, as the amount of change vs angle of rotation will be a little higher. Or connect a 300 ohm resistor in parallel, wiper to the end that is connected to the existing circuit, to make the 75 ohm look like 60 ohms. That will make it adjust like the real 60 ohm one would.
I assume that the rheostat is to be connected one end only, and the other connection is the wiper. the far end of it not connected to anything. And the parallel resistor connects to the wiper to the end that also has the connection, and nothing connected to the far end.
