Hello:

I’m shopping for a volume control/on-off switch for my Philco 116B. The original is Part No. 33-5022, 2 meg ohms, tapped at 400,000 ohms.

Does the replacement volume control need to have the identical values as the original volume control? Or, do I have some flexibility? Does the answer change depending on whether we are considering the overall value (2 meg ohms) of the volume control versus the value of the tap (400,000 ohms)?

Thank you!
