Well, I may have saved the pot.  Given that I couldn't  find a replacement, I 
took the pot out of the radio and disassembled  it.  A check of the pot 
showed that there was no continuity between the  wiper and the grounded terminal, 
but the resistive track was intact- the  connection between the resistive track 
and the solder lug was broken.  I  got a window defogger repair kit and used 
the conductive paint to establish the  contact.  I've now reassembled the pot 
and all checks out OK.  I just  hope the paint will withstand the resoldering 
of the terminals.  Now back  to my original task of recapping the radio. Hope 
this will help someone else  salvage a good radio.
