I'm sure this has come up before but I can't find it anywhere, I'm looking for a replacement volume pot for my 16B, part # 33-5013 any info on what new pot to get would be helpful. I'm finding conflicting info on values. Thanks.
Okay as far as I can tell the 16's started out with a 350,000 ohm pot with a tap at 30,000. that was changed at one time to a 2m with an unspecified tap. Nothing at radio daze list a tap and antique radio supply looks like all guitar stuff.
Do you have 350K or 2M part? There were changes. I got mine from Mark.
According to the
1946 IRC Volume Control Replacement Manual:
Part #33-5013 is 350K (75K tap). IRC equivalent D18-137X.
Part #33-5022 is 2M (500K tap). IRC equivalent D13-139X.
I also got a replacement from Mark Oppat.
I have seen 2 different chassis in 16B Cathedral Radios
4 band and the 5 Band which is more common in the 16B
Not sure if VC are the same
