Philco 70 Pot replacement
#2

Kadulazarini


1. It is always nice when asking people to look at something to provide the l;ink to the sch; it is a simple courtesy so one does not have to go on some website and start searching.
2. It is also a nice gesture to tell what exact model you have and what code. Lower number chassis does not mean much to me, though it may to someone.
3. It is also nice to show exact position of the part (the number) on the exact version of the schematic as Rider manuals often times are confusing as heck or simply lack information.



Having said that, if you are talking of the volume pot, your trouble may be because wirewound resistors are mostly linear and you need a taper, that is a log scale pot where the resistance changes not proportionally to the angle but slower at first and faster thereafter.
