Thanks Morzh,  I've contacted oldradioparts and I'm pretty sure he can make me a new pot.  I went ahead and opened it up to see why the switch wasn't working.  There is a metal tab that has been folded back and forth  to the point where it is literally held on by a thin tread of metal.  If I could find a pot with this same type of switch I could probably fix the switch and then fix the pot by putting a resistor across the terminals as you suggested.  Is this a common switch type?
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM

My $0.02 is that it is a misprint. I tried to look up the value for the similar 84 and 37-84, and ther is no resistance...MrFixr55 — 09:51 PM

I have a feeling the primary winding on the power transformer is bad. My resistance reading on the primary side is 9 ohm...Mike L — 07:48 PM
