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.
