Ordered the pot from Marl, exact same part as for the 118, as I expected. $26 plus shipping. Acceptable.
Ordered stuff from Mouser. I am running thin on some caps and the big dog-bone resistors drifted down, as usual (somehow the big resistors of the main bias divider in all the radios, typically 13-16K and 10K driwt down; mine are 10K and 11K respectively; might work fine but as long as I am at it.....might as well), I bought both 5W rated, this will also help with mounting them as they are longer and won't require wiring.
Oh....the biggest dogbone, the 13K, was loose in the soldering post....the heat, I think. I just yanked it.
I will try to restore the original volume tone-compensated hook-up. The replacement volume pot is obviously larger value, no tap and is bypassed with another resistor to lower the value.
Oh! A heads up - if you buy #46 lamps from Daze, which are about $3.50 there.......they are about $0.60 in Mouser. Since I was ordering stuff in much larger qtys than I need for this project, I also ordered 10 of those.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
