Can you see where the arc occurs in a darkened room?

I had my daughter help me make a video of the arcing. I may post it but I'm not sure it shows up clearly enough. However, I'm convinced now that the arcing is occurring inside the control. As I mentioned in another reply, this control is soldered directly to another pot and I'm going to have think through this a bit. I may need to order some new solder wicking too. Is there any possibility of a repair on something like this?
