deciphering Philco Potentiometer numbers
#2

Keith

Have you tried Oldradioparts?

On a smaller Philco I successfully used a today's pot.

Also sometimes if the pot is still a pot, only with much higher value, some effect could be achieved by simply paralleling a resistor across the end pins, so the total resistance is in this case 350K (500K resistor).
In some cases even without doing anything it will work.

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.
