WD-40 will fix those switches and potentiometers. There's a good chance you won't need to replace them - if you use WD-40.
I've bought plenty of pots back to life with WD-40. Don't ever use switch cleaner on a pot though, as it will fix it at first but then a few days later it will be 10 times worse than it was.
Of course, a pot with a totally worn-through track isn't any good, but unless it's had a really hard life then this is unlikely.

(I used my C64 on a back & white portable TV for years as our only colour TV was in the living room)

So did I...and then once or twice per year I'd take the C64 downstairs and hook it up to the huge (20" or something) colour tv and it was like "WOW!! COLOUR!!". All the games were like brand new again...had to play them all to see how they'd look. :)
I still have that same B&W ferguson portable.
