Mike;
So if you check the resistance from end to end the volume pot reads 3 meg Ohm? I could see 1 meg maybe, if someone had changed the control, but something weird is going on, it would be more normal for the resistive element to wear out, which would men that the wiper would not make contact. If it were my set I would investigate, but then again I've had to clean out a lot of controls in farm battery radios so I'm not too concerned about breaking something.
Happy Christmas
Arran
