There's nothing special about the volume pot in the 60; replacing it with a 500K is probably the only way to go.

I recommend that you buy your replacement from RadioDaze; their pots come with an optional on/off switch for a few cents more. The shafts are also longer and made of aluminum- I cut them down to the correct length using a Dremel cut-off wheel. The cut-off wheel also l will cut the flattened surface for the knob. Be careful when cutting the flat so that you don't cut away too much and leave a loosely fitting knob.
