Hi,

If you mean the threaded bushing and not the shaft we might go hunting 
here for parts. What value pot and is it linear or logarithmic taper? 
Power rating? The drive control at least is 4 watts, wire-wound. I would 
have to look at my own Heathkits to verify but I never noticed that they 
are all the same.

Next thing would to fabricate an adapter for a newfangled pot but not 
everybody can do that. So first, lets look for a replacement pot.

73,

Bill  KU8H
