A rheostat adjusts voltage - I bet a 10 stage is used in your mixer to adjust power levels.
Mind if I ask which model and what year your mixer is?
Good luck!
ETA: Further digging tells me I was on the right track. It seems you can buy a cheap external rheostat, keep the mixer on max power, and use the external dial to control speed. =]
