The last part of the puzzle was the heater control. This can often be tough especially if the clear cover plate is damaged as the replacement ones suck! I was able to clean and then very carefully polish ours and brought it back to original. The rest of the unit was media blasted, the arms replated and cables cleaned. The black backing boards are never in good shape and have always shrunk so I replace mine with some similar material I found at Micheals, cut using the original as a template and replace. The chrome slider knobs sometimes clean up or I replace them with my dwindling supply of originals.
