[Collins] 32S-3 mic gain pot needed

Hi Folks,
     Does anyone by any chance have a dual pot, with switch, that would 
do the job for a mic gain pot in a 32S-3?  One secn is .5meg, the other 
is 2500 ohms.  Or do you know where one might be found? The .5meg 
section has about 90 degrees of rotation where the slider doesn't make 
contact with the resistor.  The resistance is continuous, but the slider 
contact isn't.  DeOxit Blue doesn't help.
	I remember there was a thread on one forum recently where a parts 
supplier had many dual pots, but of course, I didn't keep the reference.
     This is for a friend of mine's xmtr.  I had posted a question re: 
the VOX ckt about a wk ago, and got good answers which solved that 
problem.  I got the replacement resistor for that on Sat., put it in, 
and did a final ck out on the rig.  No audio from the mic from about 10 
o'clock to 2 on the ctrl.
	If I could get pieces/parts, I might be able to assemble a working pot.
     Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks & 73,
