Potentiometer that is.   I have PQW's Icom 402 on my work bench and it has a 
defective volume potentiometer.   Its a 10K ohm, probably audio (log) taper.   
I suspect that its "metric" .... here are the dimensions:

Outside barrel OD = 0.665"
Total Length Including Shaft  = 0.935"
Shaft OD = 0.190", but the end is kurled with a OD = 0.230" for the volume 
knob.
Thread OD = 0.270".

The exact dimensions are not overly critical as long as it will fit thru the 
front panel hole where it is nutted down (the thread OD of 0.270") and the 
outside OD isnt much bigger than 0.665" as there is not a lot of room for a 
bigger one.  Many pot have 0.25" shafts and that is too large for this application 
... again the chassis hole is around 0.270"

Anyone have such a critter in their junk box ?
