Hi Rod,
Looking at the schematic for a Model 16, I believe this is part #82. It is a 10,000 ohm potentiometer. It should read about that when putting your ohm meter across the two outer connections. It should also vary from 0 to 10K from the center to each side, depending on the direction being turned.
If it is showing open across the outer terminals, it might be burned out.
Have you tried spraying it with some control cleaner? That won't fix the outer contact open problem, but may help you to get a cleaner reading when rotating and measuring from the center post to an outer post.
