Dew Heater controller repair?

I recently came by a Kendrick Dew Controller Model VI. Adverts say it is a pulse width modulation design from 40% to 100%. One control knob, four outlets. Control knob has an on/off switch built in.

When I put the output on the oscilloscope, loaded or unloaded, all I see is 0 volts out in the off position and 12volts out in any control position. "Houston, I think we have a problem here." Just before I drill out the rivets so I can get the lid off and have a look inside, is there anything I am missing here?

I have a home built PWM supply and I swapped that into place instead of the Kendrick and I saw the pulses, under control, as I expected.

Anyone know if I can get a circuit from anywhere? From Kendrick given this is a superseded model?

Thanks
Eric
