If the rheostat in your 240 is the same as that
in my 1983 300TD, it is a rather crude device with a coil of fine wire glued
into a ceramic base in semicircular form, with a wiper arm that rotates over
the coil. The adhesive gave up in mine last year causing erratic operation.
Once I pulled the IC, the failed adhesive spilled out in a fine white
powder. I reset the coil in silicone adhesive in the base and it has worked
fine since.
