After having ordered the pot from eBay (cheap enough, $10 or so and free shipping) I realized I have a small box in my organizer labelled "potentiometers" where I found 3 pots, two of which fit the application, and one of which was fully functional.
The "D" on the shaft is a bit deeper so will have to be padded when the knob is installed. The ground was provided separately (on 60s the lower lead is grounded to the case and the chassis).
I gave it a profilactic F5 injection.

Now I am almost ready to power up. After inspecting the coils.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
