I bet it would come apart. It looks like if you loosen the set screw on the power switch actuator you could pop the metal back off of the control. It is probably had a piece of cardboard with carbon on it as the resistive element inside. Some of the carbon has probably worn off. I have had some success in repairing these type of pots by using a graphite pencil to apply new carbon. You can rub some on then check the resistance of the pot with a meter. More carbon gives less resistance and less carbon gives more resistance.
