Rick -

You probably already realize, but if not... keep in mind that the intensity 
pot on the HO-10 is at high voltage and a replacement will need to be isolated 
from the panel using the same sort of insulating shaft and bushing.  

The HO-10 I bought recently on eBay had serious shippnig damage and the 
intensity pot was shattered.  I was unable to find a combination of 500k pot and 
insulating shaft that would fit the bushing, plus would allow an on/off switch 
to be added, so I ended up just using an appropriate 500k pot with insulating 
shaft and bushing, and put a mini toggle on/off switch elsewhere on the panel.  
I didn't like to do it that way, but as I mentioned this unit had already 
been pretty well mangled, so it was not a collectors item.  It has turned out to 
be a very practical mod and the unit cleaned up nice enough to go into service 
in my shack.
