Hi Don, and welcome!
Quick answer: As Bill suggested, contact Mark Oppat. Here's his website:
http://www.oldradioparts.net/
He is able to furnish many different types of volume controls, including tapped versions.
Next choice: Find a junker Philco and take its volume control. Many of the larger Philco sets up to and after WWII used tapped volume controls which can be adapted to older models.
Third choice: You can use an untapped volume control, and the radio will work, but the tone quality will never be the same especially at low volume levels.
