You won't find an exact replacement anymore. It could be a bit of work to replace it with a newer model. You might try placing rags around the mechanism and spraying it down real good with WD-40. You're using that to clean it. To lubricate it, wait til the WD dries and spray the mechanism with spray lithium grease. Both of those products should be real easy to find. Work things around as you're doing this. Chances are pretty good that will get things working properly. If not, then it's the new control option.
