Willkommen! Your English is much better than my German, so I won't try anything more in German here.
You are lucky that your grandfather had a great amp for you to find. The original pots were custom manufactured and will not be available to purchase through any regular supply sources.
Pleat is right in suggesting that you clean the pots with a good quality control cleaner. I use a product made by Caig called DeoxIT. I don't know if you can find it where you are located, but it does a great job of cleaning and lubricating old noisy pots.
And yes, tell us what color it is and post a photo if you can.

Since all the boards in these amps unplug I would do so to remove them from the amp an then if you have soldering skills I would then unsolder the pots one at a time from the board, spray them out and then solder them back in.
Sometimes what I do on boards that the pots can be a big time project to unsolder out, I will drill a hole in the board on top of the pot that is big enough in size to let the spray nozzle get into the slot area of the pot.
If you do this you must be sure that 1, you are not drilling into any other circuit part or board trace and 2, when drilling you must hold the board in a way to not let any drill shavings get down into the pot.
