Yes, these folks do not market like the commercial side but there is a small industry supplying obsolete parts. They are not usually not focused to sell to the public. Sometimes, they just hunt around for NOS stored in some forgotten warehouse, then they test components to insure like new

These look like resistance demonstrators for physics labs; slide potentiometers. Those devices were made very hardy back then, and while they can easily be replaced by a precision bournes pot or a used Tegam resistance box, you have it why not use it? Just make sure the contacts are clean and
