Hi,
I am repairing a philco 40-195. The volume control pot needs replacing. I see from the schematic it is a 2 meg-ohm. I have a 500k-ohm pot on hand that would fit.(Once I re-attach the "gear") Would this substitute work okay? What would any potential problems be? Thanks for any and all assistance. Any other recommendations while I'm at it? Icon_smile

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
