SE/30 Brightness Knob Potentiometer

I recently had an SE/30 analog board shipped to me and unfortunately the brightness knob somehow got bent in shipping resulting in one of the terminals of the potentiometer breaking clear off.

I tried my best to repair this potentiometer but I think its beyond help as there does not seem to be any conductive material to solder the terminal back on.

Does anyone happen to know if a modern equivalent is available for purchase? Or if there is a fact sheet somewhere?
Alternatively, does anyone have an old analog board laying around for parts that they're willing to harvest this part from?

More info:
Full brightness is 7 Ohm, full dim is 1M Ohm.

I think I found a local seller willing to part with an untested analog board for cheap which I'll likely pull the part from but I'd like to leave this thread up just in case anyone comes up with a better answer to this problem!

The "B" means "linear taper" - if you get a linear taper potentiometer with the right resistance (1 MΩ) you should be OK, I think; the problem will more be the kind of shaft on it and whether the knob will fit.
