We have a Philco 38-7 console we use regularly to play 60's music from a local AM station.

The volume control is scratchy and intermittent and needs to be replaced but has a tapped element not readily available.
The P/N is 33-5216.

I'm looking for suggestions for replacement.

Thank you

Don

Hi and welcome,

Mark can more than likely help you out.  https://www.oldradioparts.net/controls.html  I would call him rather than use the order blank on line.

Now I think I've got!
