The power volume control uses a 2 ph motor. By exchanging the motor condenser connections the rotation changes, that is what the up/down volume control does.

Outside of other possible mechanical issues, the condenser for the motor usually dries up so no rotation or very little torque...

It is a non-polarized but I have used two regular electrolytics back to back, doubles the voltage rating and halves the mf rating...

If there is a large, open wire loop at the bottom of the cabinet, that is the receive antenna for the wireless remote...

YMMV

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